Couldn’t find a picture – so with the courtesy from Martin Barz – here is his picture of the wine label.
I don’t think I have tasted a 2004 German Riesling that I didn’t like and even in Champagne I find the 2004’s I have tasted incredible appealing. 2004 “Hubacker” is really mouth coating, dynamic and a lush Riesling. Still made in Keller’s precise style, but offering a lot more broad appealing juiciness. It’s labeled in the section of wines where you feel like drinking the whole bottle in one go. For sure – the big boys from Keller; G-Max, Abtserde and Morstein show even more laser cut lines, but my autopilot was set on “feet up and sunset”, so I had a big smile painted on my face. Man I liked it.

Oh yes, Hubacker is always a "drinking wine not a thinking wine". I am remembering that Dennis served a terrific 05 Magnum last february in Copenhagen. I confess, I was thinking drinking the whole Magnum alone such great drinking pleasure this Riesling offered.
Someone perfectly said it is a "barockes Lustmonster".......

P.S. 2004 is one of the greatest vintage at the estate Keller together with 02, 07 and maybe also 08.
Hi Martin,
Indeed a terrific wine. And unfortunately I just realized it was my last bottle ;-(.
Take care.

Hi Dennis,
Sorry – no pictures.
When I am out with the wife, I just relax and don’t take pictures ;-)

Hope you are doing well too.
