Lovely amber orange color. Like apricot jam with some honey and minerals mixed in for good measure. Sweet but not cloying.

Delicate, balanced sweetness and acidity. I expect more minerality from Donnhof typically, but beautiful and enjoyable nonetheless. This has many years left in it and will only get better with time.

Very dry as Auslese's go. Pure and "sharks with frickin lasers" focused. Perfect only in Germany balance between acid and RS. Lovely almost perfect wine experience.

Nose of honey and orange.  Golden color.  Palate was intense and concentrated.  Stone fruit and honey with a rich botrytis core.  The acid was present and this was not at all cloying.  After 10 years this is still young and I am happy to have a few more to sit on.   Still amazing, yet there is so much potential for this to become quite special in the future.
