Mar 22nd, 2016The 2012 Dönnhoff Hermannshöhle GG is perhaps the ripest of the GG trio. The nose is lush and expressive—imagine Ripe Bosc pear and golden apple trees near a hedgerow of old-fashioned roses, add a dash of lanolin and citrus. On the palate, it's rich and incredibly sumptuous, with weighty glycerol and densely layered orchard fruit. The minerality is focused on the sides of the mouth, creating a pleasant, vibrant border. As with the other GGs the finish is intense and lengthy.
