Flinty, minerally, salty. Needs more time but a very fine Riesling with a long burn

Our 3rd delicious Riesling at lunch from the Prince Burgundy day a week ago. This Donnhoff was the Dellchen from memory. No notes taken.

A dry German Riesling (13% ABV) - a top shelf GG. Aromatics of peach and mineral which translate to the palate. Also tropical fruit notes (pineapple) on the palate. Quite delicious. Medium minus acid. Could cellar for a couple more years if desired, but this is pretty much at its peak. The memorable aspect to this Riesling was the purity. Jancis’s German expert, Michael Schmidt gave this wine 19/20. Dry Riesling doesn’t get much better than this.

White peaches, fresh, high minerality and some licorice after taste. Great Riesling in an abundant year

Bit more open than the Hermannshöhle with some passion fruit, pineapple and fresh sliced white peaches. Good structure, medium body. A well made GG.

I was not wild about this. I was missing the intense minerality and zip with the complex background I was hoping for. Maybe a little sleepy? #riesling #donnhoff #gg
