Fantastic

2013 vintage

Ripe spiced peach, honey, white flowers, and woodland grasses, and soft leafy herbs feature on the nose. Honeyed peaches again on the attack with great acidity, developing into the greener and herbaceous flavours on the mid palate and finish. The herbs go on forever. As always with Donnhoff, great weight, balance, and mouthfeel.

Opened an hour prior. Medium gold to the eye. Explosive aromas of petroleum jelly, a feint hint of honey, soft green herbs, and a touch of flint. Considerable weight, concentration, and exceptional ripeness of fruit. There are clear signs of residual sugar yet there’s the balance and harmony to keep this in check. Slightly hedonistic and utterly deciduous in every possible sense. Superb.

Robe jaune dorée; Nez en fraîcheur. sur un mélange de fruit à chaire jaune comme l'ananas & la mangue qui aurait été écrasé sur des galets de rivières. Il y a côté florale bien développé, une pointe de gomme à savon ainsi qu'une arrière trame de cire d'abeille. La bouche est large, riche, juste assez supporté par l'acidité. Moins tranchant ce dont à quoi je m'attendais. Ça reste somme toute très bien équilibré. Le fruité en attaque est riche, texture …

Lunch at De Librije *** with Hermanos. Much richer than anticipated. Light footed (at 13%). Paired well with various fish dishes and foie gras with shrimps from the North Sea. Power, delicious but lacking some tension, probably due to the vintage

PnP and then drunk over two days, with a small leftover five days later. Next to the Dellchen of the same vintage which was a stunning contrast. The nose was very different, much more on mineral notes, wet slate or something like that. Bolder and heavier, with more evident residual sugar on the palate. I enjoyed it on the first day, but this is borderline too heavy for me. With marinated, spicy chicken it was fine.

• Color: Medium lemon • Nose: Pronounced, floral, subtle petrol, honey, lemon, mango • Mouth: Pronounced, slightly sweet taste that is so pleasant, wet stone. • Long and pleasant finish, very well balanced

I thought this was terrific with good acid but not searing and excellent fruit with modest sweetness

Blind tasting of three Rieslings with friends; one Riesling was German, one French, one Austrian. Quite rich compared to the other wines, very mineral, a bit of botrytis, citrus, not quite as focussed as the other two, good now, but might still get better with additional age. Ranked 3rd by the group, but only by a small margin. - 91 points

Dezente, aber komplexe Nase. Ausgezeichnetes Frucht/Säure Spiel, süffig, ausgezeichnet.

2013 vintage

A real beauty, an energetic thread carries a round, creamy texture from beginning through finish, floral, honey notes, tropical fruits peeking through, particularly with air / the third night. Very long finish where some underlying minerality bubbles up. Fine, classy feel. I'm happy to have more of this in the cellar to try at a later date.

2013 vintage

Very good. Creamy texture, nice acid-fruit relation, long finish. Complex with exotic aromas.

2013 vintage

Dry Riesling on the rooftop (logan square, Chicago IL) : The nose is balanced with a rounded and take to the tones of green and red apples, pears, quince, peaches, jasmine, ginger, mint, nectarine, papaya, gun flint, and mineral notes. The tones have smoothed out with some age while showing off very good depth and a sense of class. The Medium bodied feel is beautifully balanced and poised with tart, high acidity. This shows off good depth across the nose …

Good GG but slightly heavy. A bit too much of everything. Very juicy . Had better Felsenbergs !

2013 vintage

Popped and poured. Tasting note after bottle was open for about an hour. Wine is bright, very light golden color. On nose, lots of peach, nectarine, honey. Lovely. Tiny mineral undertone of the vitamin pill variety. On palate, wine is sound, high acidity, a touch of sugar, with the white fruits predominating, and a long, clean finish. This is a lovely wine! Looking forward to trying more of these.

Excellent vin avec beaucoup de puissance et de complexité. Il va probablement encore se développer a travers le temps même si il est déjà très délicieux a boire. Sa puissance et sa substance ne l'empêche pas de présenter une belle fraicheur et légèreté. Les saveurs sont définitivement sur les fruits blancs avec une pointe de miel sur la finale. Du grand riesling!

SAQ N° 11473057 79$ WA93 Avec sushi Tri Express. Mea culpa, ouvert trop tôt, mais je voulais tâter une GG en jeunesse. C'est raffiné. Sec. Pas exubérant, tout en subtilité. Fruits blancs. Un peu herbacé ensuite. Puis minéral. Difficile à cerner, mais doté d'un beau potentiel. Ils a bien évolué dans le verre, ce qui est prometteur. À attendre au moins 10 ans du millésime je crois. ****

2013 vintage

Good balance of light sweetness and acidity. Citrus and minerals. Paired well with a variety of dishes.

2013 vintage

Fruchtig, prickelnd, mineralisch.

2013 vintage

Oeil jaune paille; Nez compacte, en un bloc. Relativement austère au départ. Il y a du fruit àa chaire jaune (ananas, pêche, mangue). L'ensemble est frais & "vibrant", il y a des légères notes d'herbes vertes (thym, romarin) en arrière plan. Des notes de florales & salines sont aussi perceptibles. Très "sérieux". Bonne vivacité en bouche, très large/ample en attaque & au milieu. Très long, en un bloc, le fruité à chaire jaune est présent su début à la fin. …

Very nice bottle. Not as sweet as the Spatliesse which was refreshing last night. Great flavor profile and some dryness which was so good in the hot summer.

2013 vintage

Sec (« trocken »); 13% alcool Je comprends qu’il s’agit d’un vin de garde, mais on entrevoit déjà son potentiel. Quoique sec, il est équilibré et soyeux en bouche. On goûte les fruits blancs (nectarine et pêche) à travers la minéralité. Sa complexité est évidente car chaque gorgée révèle quelque chose de nouveau. Il est moins racoleur que les demi-secs ou les moelleux mais très impressionnant.

Lys gul. Moden gule epler og pære. Følger opp i munne. Flott fruktsødme. Stor syre. Trenger desperat luft. Betydelig bedre dag 2 og 3. Åpner seg, viser mer frukt som balanserer syren. La ligge

Beaucoup de classe ici grâce à sa pureté cristalline et à sa finesse d'arômes, en bouche c'est précis, rond et tendre à la fois mais toujours frais. J'étais sur un beau sancerre en raison de la trame végétale noble qui évoquait le sauvignon blanc. 91-92

unicorn alert...only 90 375's made (this was number 39) and carried back from a visit to the winery. Grilled white peaches is what sprang to mind. Powerful and lightweight all at once. The palate just stops you in your tracks. A pleasantly tart pineapple finish. My WOTY so far.

Chicago ♥ Dönnhoff (Chicago, IL) : #25-14, 7% abv. Half-bottle 39 of 90(!). Served blind. Incredible spice and smoke on the nose. The spice had me thinking heavy botrytis, though in hindsight I should have picked up that it was more Eiswein spice than botrytis. Grilled peaches, Mark said, and he was spot on (or I'm incredibly susceptible to suggestion). The palate is one of white pain from the intensity, where you get a kaleidoscope that's been drenched in acid …
