Kellers Hubacker Max 2000 so frisch und für mich Keller pur. Noch lange nicht am Höhepunkt. Gilt als G-Max Vorgänger. 96. FX Pichler’s Kellerberg 1994 kann mit der Frische nicht ganz mithalten, aber dennoch beeindruckend für einen über 20 Jahre alten trockenen Riesling. 94. Am Ende 6:2 für das Land des Fußball-Weltmeisters.

Light yellow. An initial whiff of sherry, but this cleared and as it sat open, dry peach emerged and it became obvious it was quite fresh for its age. This did turn very petrolly though, even bumping up against my high tolerance for and enjoyment of this component. Full body, stern, dry, and long. No excess fat here.

Older and interesting wines with the Meat Fairy at Châteauneuf-du-Joe. (Dougherty's.): I'm usually not a fan of matching a wine with soup, but this really worked well with the Maryland crab soup. The wine's very earthy/lightly petrolly character and desiccated stone fruit notes complemented the bay seasoning and sweet crabbiness wonderfully. Just a touch of ripe sweetness balanced by a strong acid backbone. To my tastes it's at peak. I like where the fruit is now and prefer a little more fruit to a bit more earth. A -/B+.

More of the same stuff as the '93 but with a little extra something. A little rougher, a little stonier.
