Blassgelb im Glas, Bukett nach gelben Früchten auf Stein, am Gaumen puristisch auf der mineralischen Seite, nach Öffnung der Flasche, zupackend. Immer noch soo jung.

This has aged well and finally has enough complexity to cover the fierce acidity. There's a gear lacking here but how much can you expect from an entry level wine?

love the bouquet of petrol over apricot and pear, dry, high acid, complete on the palate, showing flavors of mineral, yellow peach and golden kiwi, bright and lifted, thinly sliced but detailed and super delicious, enjoyable now

Introduction into Riesling. I was told to start here and I really enjoyed this bottle next to one of my favorite Albarinos. I'll be exploring this rabbit hole some more based on this experience.

Reference wine to a spät- auslese wine tasting. One dimensional, nice acid, slightly bitter, some heat, and the fruit is pear.

This has become more introverted but is still juicy, refreshing, minerally unfruity, salty and austere. Lacks a bit of length. 12%. Needs 6mths to 1 year laydown.

Aromatically interesting but frankly the acidity is too intense and it comes off a bit unbalanced on the palate. One reason I love Riesling is the dynamic tension between acidity and sweetness and this could use just a hair more residual sugar and still read very dry.

Straightforward, dynamite bottle. Intense lemon citrus over grey flinty minerals. Lively and delicious.

Screw cap. Floral fruity citrus on the nose, lots of green apple and citrus, hints of grapefruit, mouthfilling; somehow the fruit makes it taste juicier with this bone dry riesling. Well made, from a vintner I admire, just not complex. 11.5% alc.

Super dry. Pear. No complexity. Okay but nothing to get excited about.

This was a medium bodied riesling with citrus and green apple notes and palate. It was tart and sparkling and not quite as smooth as I generally like.

The first 2017 dry entry level bottle from Dönnhoff, as I am a great fan of their high class and classic style Rieslings I must commit to like other entry level Rieslings more normally, this vintage changed my mind, more on the mineralic side of Riesling, stunning fresh and demanding, lightbodied, good finish, maybe a little change of style as now Cor. Dönnhoff is running this estate, *(*+- ?), around 87+

Light and pleasant, fruity and floral, ever so slightly sweet, with a modicum of mineral finesse on the finish. Very typical for region and estate.

Juvenile. Has aromas of minerals, lemons, limes and veggie hints. Its medium bodied and a bit spritzy refreshing white fruits and minerals palate has got excellent depth and good length. 12%. Lay down for 6 months+.

High pitched acidity, very lively, energetic, yet still remaining elegant and focused. Very Dönnhoff, very Nahe and very much Riesling. Benchmark. Great.

(Tank sample) The nose showed an initial dusting of minerals with floral infused lime. On the palate, it displayed soft textures with notes of ripe peach offset by a cut of vibrant acidity and lime. It finished long on a mix of green citrus tones, minerals and savory herbs. (89-91)

Light to medium yellow in colour. Very lemony on the nose with notes of petrol and minerality. High acidity with a medium length sour finish that gives lime notes. Some austerity on the palate and it is very dry. Drink or hold. Good.

Donnhoff is the master, and is entry level Riesling is a delicious treat.
