Amazing! Still fresh but with deep layered complexity.

The 07’ Hermannshohle was a wine I’ve enjoyed immensely many times before, but the Kirchspiel wiped the floor with it on this occasion. It was just a little too broad in comparison - very obvious that it had more of those golden berries come through. Still quite delicious though, with also a melange of fruits which pushes the candied edge at times, good minerality though a little earthier, and a very long finish. Definitely a “baroque” wine.

This wine is a baby. Nice clean petroleum nose. Almost frizzante-style acidity, very stony finish to the point of clipping. Very good but time should show more on this one.

The 2009 Donnhoff Hermannshohle is rich and ample in the glass, showing sweet peaches and pear, with hints of kiwi, honeysuckle, and white smoke. It races across the palate with precision and poise, delivering mineral-tinged orchard fruits, perfectly balancing weighty textures and ripeness with an acid-mineral thrust. The finish is long and floral, complemented by lingering flavors of lime and green apple with cheek puckering tension. Wow!

Elegance and power. A beautifully made wine. Striking minerality, intense stoniness. The fruit comes later: pineapple, nectarine, with saltiness and limeyness at the end. Coming from 49 year old vines, and below 4g RS. Stealing your soul! So intense.

Juicy acidity and great energy, notes of ripe stone fruits, melon and lots of minerals
