The 2003 Weingut Keller Dalsheimer Hubacker Riesling Auslese hails from a superb vintage in Germany, despite a baking hot summer that led to quick grape ripening and drought stress. This particular wine is known to be available in both Goldkapsel (gold cap) and Black capsule versions, produced from various fuder (barrel) numbers. On the nose, expect fine citrus zest, ripe orange fruit, apricot, honeydew melon, delicate blossom honey, and a hint of banana. The palate is elegant with interwoven fruit sweetness, vineyard peach, and delicate acidity, showcasing wonderful fruit exoticism. It is beautifully balanced, offers a very long finish, and possesses 【great ageing potential and superb balance in a hot vintage】. Other tasting notes include peach, honey, citrusy elements, dried apricots, honeyed beeswax, marmalade, salty stone minerality, and a subtle hint of petroleum. It delivers intense sweetness harmoniously balanced by a still very lively acidity. Food Pairing: This luscious sweet wine is a perfect match for fruit-based desserts. Fit to Event: An absolute stunner that is drinking beautifully right now, yet promises a long life ahead. It's a very good quality wine that is remarkably easy to enjoy. Serving Advice: As a 23-year-old wine, this bottle may show some natural sediment. To ensure the best experience, stand the bottle upright for a day or two before serving. Gentle decanting is highly recommended to separate any sediment and allow the wine to fully express its complex bouquet. Be cautious with the cork, as older corks can be fragile; a two-pronged cork puller or a Durand opener can be very helpful. Serve slightly chilled, ideally between 10-12°C (50-54°F).
