Nov 4th, 2017A 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.

Nov 23rd, 2016I 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
