Gilman further notes the wine's depth, full-bodied nature, and pure personality on the palate. He praises its "excellent focus and grip, vibrant acids and lovely length and grip," concluding that while it needs more time in the cellar, it promises to be "a brilliant drink when it is ready to go."

On the palate, he finds the structure to be crisp with "delicate weight and invigorating nectarine fruit." Payne also notes the wine's "salty minerality" which contributes to its charming length. He characterizes this Riesling as "the most feminine of the estate's dry rieslings and one of the most approachable in its youth."

In summary, the 2012 Weingut Keller Dalsheimer Hubacker Riesling Grosses Gewachs is a wine marked by its finesse and complexity. It is praised for its aromatic bouquet, vibrant acidity, and structured palate, making it a stellar example of German Riesling from the Hubacker appellation.
