Donnhoff, Oberhauser Brucke Riesling GG, Nahe

Medium straw. An ever so slightly subdued, but supremely jovial nose offers aromas of green apple, watermelon rind, starfruit, dried chamomile blossoms, saltines, preserved lemon, and crushed stones. Medium bodied on the palate, bone dry but with tons of youthful fruit that is contrasted by bright acids and a tense, almost crunchy sort of texture. This is delicious now but is going to be spectacular in the next three or four years.

Pale yellow in glass. Medium intensity on the nose. Lemon, lime, minerality and petrol. High acidity and a medium plus finish. Next bottle in 1-2 years.

excellent. floral. bright. a touch bitter the second day but overal incredible wine and value.

Splash decant. Drinking well but a bit on the softer side.

This is terrific.

Dry Riesling-Alsace, Austria, Germany (K&L Wines, San Francisco) : Light yellow. Guava fruit. Penetrating, broad, powerful, and mouth filling. Fairly dry with excellent soil finish.

Wines of Germany and Austria - walkaround tasting (Flatiron - San Francisco) : initially shy nose that grows to medium intensity and offers green mango, stonefruit and guava fruits with lime and floral accents. equally reticent on entry, some layers began to stand out between the creamy texture, the acidic brightness and a mineral base. seemingly inscrutable in mouth, it was in the long finish and aftertaste that the promise it holds began to show itself. balanced and with a …

Wines of Germany and Austria - walkaround tasting (Flatiron - San Francisco) : elegantly floral and citric accents complement the delineated and precise fresh stonefruit aromas. bright, racy and mineral in mouth, a saline vein cuts thru the gentle pear and honeydew melon flavours. lime mint accents lead into a long and very complex finish. light on its feet but not lacking in depth, this may be drinkable soon… but will reward five or so more years of bottle age. …

Very ripe aromatics dominated by fruits, spices and some savory notes in the background: citrus, guava, mango, white floral notes and a mineral streak in the back. On the palate, it's nicely balanced. The warm growing season doesn't show up as much: excellent acidity to go with a beautiful texture. The spices are quite prominent; almost a spicy finish... The only reproach would be a fairly short finish, but this wine is so young that I have to give it …

Dönnhoffs Dellchen 2021 is one of the best wines I've ever had, so I was keen to see if the 2022 could live up to its predecessors standard. Served next to Wittmann Kirchspiel 2021, both PnP, followed 7 hours It has an almost exotic nose with tropical fruits and almost red fruited level of sweetness. Almost full bodied, at least towards the finish, which is quite sweet. It's a nice enough wine, if slightly direct and obvious. For me, it's …

Amazing! Leaning on the sweet side but perfectly balance with some acid and fruit

During a merchant tasting, so only brief impressions. All the Dönnhoff GG wines showed very young and closed. Knowing how well they do with time, I would not touch them for 10 years. 90-92

Elegant, some ripe fruit, mango, apricot, some yeasty creaminess, less fruit driven than previous years, great depth and concentration

Lighter than the Hermannshöhle, more citrus showing, more femine, elegant - en danseuse. #WiesbadenGG
