The 2012 Dönnhoff Niederhauser Dellchen Grosses Gewachs (GG) is Focused with a driving intensity. The nose is not intensely aromatic, but then, this wine is slightly cold: freshly cut green apple, fresh spearmint, lemon thyme. On the palate, it feels bone dry, despite some silky glycerol that adds weight and body. The backbone is tersely electric. Tension amid terroir-driven notes of calcareous soil, wet sea shell, fleur de sel, dried pear, pink grapefruit rind all leading into a mouthwatering finish.

Another masterpiece from the boys at Donnhoff. Such a treat to even be in the same room as this wine. #atg

White flowers, honey suckle, salted lime rind, Thai basil. Turned up to 11! 12's are so damn friendly and generous

Very young. Tropical nose. Quava. With more air became very floral. Jasmine. Med.+ - high acidity. Should develop more body with age. Will open next bottle in 5 years. Decant!
