  An awe-inspiring nose of petrol and power! Still very fresh and bright, but not yet fully expressive, more primary. Delicious wine.

  100% Riesling from the 4-hectare Oberer Hubacker, a monopole parcel within the famed Dalsheimer Hubacker vineyard, planted to very old vines. 12,5% alcohol. Tasted blind in a tasting of sixteen dry 2010 Rieslings.
  
  Medium-deep lemon-yellow color. The nose feels a bit restrained and quite ripe with nuanced, sweet-toned and very attractive aromas of honeydew melon and lemon marmalade, some perfumed floral tones, a little bit of peachy fruit, light extracted waxy tones, a hint of steely minerality and a touch of fragrant spices. The wine feels clean, very focused and subtly sweet-toned with a medium body and intense flavors of ripe citrus fruits, some spicy red apple, a little bit of lemon marmalade, light waxy tones, a hint of savory spices and a touch of stony minerality. The bright, noticeably high yet not aggressive acidity lends wonderful sense of structure, firmness and precision to the wine. The finish is firm, dry-ish and very long with an intense aftertaste of lemony citrus fruits, some steely mineral tones, a little bit of tart Granny Smith apple, light floral nuances, a hint of beeswax and a touch of tangy salinity.
  
  There seemed to be a nearly-universal consensus that this wine was at least a tiny notch above all the other wines we tasted. Although this wine wasn't as big, concentrated or "impressive" as some other wines, this seemed to be just the kind of "ideal" Riesling for so many. The fruit flavors were simply on point for what one can expect of a dry Riesling, the acidity was very high but still safely on this side of balanced and not aggressive, the mineral notes complemented the fruit flavors wonderfully and there just seemed to be such balance between the fruit, the body, the acidity and the minerality that very few can attain. The overall feel was still quite youthful - although not as youthful as 2010 Keller Kirchspiel we tasted at the same time - and it seemed there was still tons of future potential for further development, but this was immensely enjoyable already now. This was not only my #1 wine of the tasting, but for six other attendees as well. In our tasting the wine received 60 points from the 16 participants, making it finish effortlessly on 1st place.

  Glass: Zalto Bordeaux
  Popped and poured. Drunk over three days. Clear, pale youthful golden color. Clean, medium+ intense, youthful-developing nose. Yellow fruit, ripe pineapple, chalky mineral notes, lime, herbs and some smoky, dark notes. Deep, dense and fresh. Really wonderful perfume that got even more intense with time and air.
  On the palate no sign of this rather cold and complicated vintage. Dry, but with some noticeable residual sugar. Ripe, wonderful integrated, racy acidity. Honeydew, ripe pineapple, ripe grapes, herbs and an incredible chalky mineral core. 13% abv. Tension and vibrant energy all over the place! Power, pressure, but also a wonderful balance. Long, chalky and lingering finish! This is already great, but I doubt it is yet at its full peak. Fantastic wine. 94-95+
