Pear, zesty lime and pineapple close to the core ally themselves to crystalline, alkaline and stony notes in Keller's 2011 Dalsheimer Hubacker Riesling Grosses Gewachs, leading to a juicy palate impression and finish that positively shimmer. Coriander seed, grapefruit rind, peach kernel, nut oils and quinine add piquant pungency to this impressively persistent performance that should be worth following for at least a decade. This site tends to wear its extract on its sleeve, but fortunately that doesn't this year preclude succulence, lift or refreshment. I think of Kirchspiel as feline, whereas Hubacker is a rather large canine bounding into your lap.

Mid straw colour with quite a sheen. Some evolution on the nose with lime and mineral notes but still with extraordinary acidity on the palate. Almost more like a Grosset than a GG! Great smouldering intensity but still quite youthful. Impressive finish. I'm almost inclined to decant this before serving it with tonight's turbot! This wine seems to get younger and younger!
