Nicely balance, feeling a bit of alcohol tbh. Has more years.

TCA!

2012 vintage

Lys gul, helt klar, nesten litt gylden. God lukt av friske litt søte tropiske frukter. Smaksrik. Fruktig. God fylde. Passe med syre. Tropisk frukt også på smak. Relativ lang.

Cruising along in the middle of a peak drinking window with concentrated, crystalline fruit and bright acidity. Impressive.

2012 vintage

Still stunning but seemingly coming towards the end of its peak drinking window - it was relatively light gold in colour and had some gentle caramel tastes. Still very good, but if I can find my last bottle (!!) I will be drinking fairly soon.

2012 vintage

Pale lemon in colour. Rather subtle nose like a citrus and halide infused sea breeze. The palate intensely mineral, kaffir notes, nutmeg like subtle spice, very persistent and youthful.

2012 vintage

In a great spot - slight notes of evolution, but overall still rather youthful, lots of minerality, generous fruit, vibrant, harmonious. Lovely mouthfeel, slightly creamy, fresh, lively. Very persistent finish. Drink or keep. 93-95

Dönnhoff Dellchen Vertical Tasting (Frankfurt) : Popcorn nose. very mineral, almost volcanic, smoky. Wine is open and well balanced, drinking very well now.

2012 vintage

Minerality, even slightly salty, nice fruity core, complex and very long, outstanding

2012 vintage

This bottle impressed me a bit less than last time, but was still great. Lots of freshness left still, mineral, apple, some floral honey notes and the acidity I love in Riesling. Drinking great now, would not see any reason to wait much longer but this will keep.

2012 vintage

A nice magnum of the Dellchen with good acidic grip, loads of minerality and still nice fruit. Will go on for some time.

2012 vintage

Tasted at Zoldering. Very typical Riesling: flinty and mineral, aromatic, lots of apple, lemon, some floral notes and integrated high acidity. This is drinking great now after 15-30 mins, but can go longer.

Took this beautiful Donnhoff Dellchen Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2012 to a Michelin rated Chinese restaurant and it did not disappoint. Fortunate enough that there were no issues with the cork, and it was already drinking very nicely right out of the bottle without a decant, and just let time go by with temperature adjustment as well as letting it breathe in the class. Nuanced lemon and stone fruit notes, with delicious mouth watering acidity and plenty of bright cripsness and …

Different (better) impressions as with the last one a year ago: exotic fruit, citrus (lemon and grapefruit), stony, peppery in the aftertaste, impressive density and length, excellent and improving over 3 days. Clearly upward potential 92+

2012 vintage

Very good, already showing some small hints of aging, don't wait too long opening one if you own a couple of bottles.

2012 vintage

Wow, just a gorgeous concentrated and pleasure-packed dry riesling. A kaleidoscope of orchard and citrus fruit, with florals and stones adding complexity. Substantial weight that is fresh with pin point balance. Held up strong over three days.

2012 vintage

Green apple on the nose. On the palate, apple, white peach, and grapefruit citrus, with notes of tangerine and lime on the medium finish, and powerful acidity. This was an excellent value at under $50.

2012 vintage

Consistent with my previous notes, a beautiful dry riesling with notes of limestone and minerals.

2012 vintage

Peach, citrus (grapefruit), not totally dry, ripe, good density and length, drinking well, don’t see any need to cellar longer.

2012 vintage

GG Riesling Night (S.K.Y. restaurant, Pilsen, Chicago IL) : Nose: The nose is fresh and lively with pears, white peaches, lemon peels, jasmine, green apples, limes, saline, tidal pool aromas, and crushed rocks. There is excellent depth and balance with the nose showing off a lot of clarity. Taste: The feel is medium bodied with tart, high acidity. The acidity is electric and provides a vibrancy to the feel with pears, white peaches, lemon peels, jasmine, green apples, saline, and …

Blind I had no clue. Very precise and concentrated. Peach, Mandarine and yuzu. Nicely balanced. 93-94. Starting to reach his top.

2012 vintage

Nice mature Riesling. Lacking a bit of Tension and acid for a higher score. Dellchen always the richer one compared to the Hermannshöhle. Don t see much improvement. Drink !!!

2012 vintage

Drank from magnum, 10cl at grapes Munich. Intense aroma, flowers, wood (?), fruit unidentifiable, no petrol, sweet nose. Delicate flavor, not as weighty as thought of a 2012. less ripe then expected - big surprise in fact. Fresh and medium+ acidity. Drink or hold. Well presentable wine. Lovely

2012 vintage

At Kyosho in Menlo Park. Lots of mineral, slate, balanced acid and citrus notes. Clean and classy, could not ask for a better pairing with my outstanding sushi tonight.

2012 vintage

Dinner at The Bristol (The Bristol - Chicago, IL) : In an unplanned 09/12 side-by-side vertical. Similar character but leaner and with more cutting acids than the 09. With time and air, the wine opens to shows more stuffing, sweet fruit and mineral. The '09 provided more pleasure tonight, but the '12 is clearly a better wine in the long run. 2-3 points of upside.

2012 vintage

Tropical fruits and wild flowers; liquid honey. Truly remarkable (Justerini German Riesling Tasting)
