I hate it when storage and transports robs the potential of a wine away, but I hate it even more when it happens to a wine I usually adore. Such was the case here. There was just too much distracting petrol notes on the nose for a Riesling this young. Having said that, there was still lots packed into this wine, especially on the palate. Seriously structured with laser acidity, and very generous on the fruit end (as expected of Hubacker). Finish was quite long, almost exotic, with some minerality although it pales in comparison to the Mosel GG we drank this with. The others on the table certainly enjoyed the wine, though I can’t say the label didn’t help. — 4 months ago
Taste melon, apple, apricots. Very easy to drink — 2 years ago
Perhaps still burdened by it’s youth as it’s not overly complex. Admirable it’s it’s purity and precision, but length also falls a bit short. — 5 years ago

Pale straw color. Smells sweet tastes like tangy white grape juice, with a touch of lemon chiffon pie. Smooth. — 2 months ago
Pale lemon color with medium+ intensity aromas of floral, stone and citrus fruits with floral notes. On the palate this almost dry wine shows flavors of peach, ripe apple, lemon, apricot, melon with wet stone mineral. Vivid acidity with great mouthfeel on medium+ finish. Can age a bit but is very good now for optimal freshness. — 7 months ago
Held up well, ready to drink — 3 years ago
