Wonderful Riesling, last of a slew of bottles better than the first.

So good, with an easy fruity entry followed by terrific bite and release finish. Ripped thru chilli garlic prawns. Such purity, the RS suits it to a tee. Need to find more.

I have long loved Dönnhoff, and will continue to extoll its virtues. The Nahe Oberhäuser Leistenberg Kabinett Riesling 2011 is simply put, a pulse-quickening example, with complex aromas of white flowers, Asian pear, shale, mint, and clover honey. On the palate, a tensile, arching backbone interlaced with peach pit and white grapefruit pith adds tension to shale-driven minerality. It's got a wholly appealing, racy, slightly bitter edge delicately rimmed in sea salt. In addition, fantastic length.

A little sweet for a Kabinett, but enough acidity to balance. Worked very well with Thai food.
