The wine has garnered notable reviews from two prominent wine critics. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded it a score of 91 points, describing the wine as having a "clear, more open and fruity bouquet with just a hint of chalk and lemon flavors." The review notes that on the palate, the wine is "full-bodied, rich, very clear, elegant and quite concentrated" with power and complexity, although it may be "less stimulating at the moment compared to the Kirchspiel." The reviewer, SR, suggests that the wine should be aged for at least another 3-4 years to reach its full potential.
John Gilman from View From The Cellar gave a more enthusiastic review, scoring it 94 points and adding a plus. Gilman notes that the wine is aging gracefully and has retained its elegance over the years. He describes the bouquet as "quite youthful and very refined," with elements of grapefruit, tart orange, minerality, fleur de sel, dried flowers, wild yeasts, and a topnote of orange peel. On the palate, Gilman finds the wine to be "youthfully complex, full-bodied," and displaying outstanding mid-palate depth. He praises its "superb soil signature, bright, zesty acids and excellent focus and grip on the very, very long and classy finish." Gilman advises that the wine still needs at least another six or seven years of bottle age to truly reach its peak.
In summary, the 2014 Weingut Keller Dalsheimer Hubacker Riesling Grosses Gewachs is a well-regarded Riesling with a promising aging potential. While it may currently be less stimulating compared to other wines in the same class, it shows a clear and elegant profile with a complex and aromatic finish. Both reviewers highlight its aging potential, suggesting that patience will be rewarded with an even more refined and sophisticated wine in the years to come.
