2021 Dönnhoff Dellchen Riesling Großes Gewächs

Nahe more

4/21/2024 - ylkim30 Likes this wine: NR

Ye Olde Riesling Dinner (SDK - Castro): This is electric with racy, (borderline searing) acidity with a complex palate of crushed rocks, herbs, lemons, a touch of smoke, and a interesting reddish fruit note. Where the Hollenpfad feels airier and lighter, this is brooding, almost creamy, and dark-toned in comparison.This was great and it would be interesting to see what will happen with this wine as age helps to uncoil the acidity.

Ye Olde Riesling Dinner (SDK - Castro): Floral on the nose with citrus, sea salt, and minerals on the palate, like the condensation of a sea breeze. Very elegant, it also has mouth-watering acidity. Not the flashiest of the Donnhoffs (that would go to the Dellchen), but perhaps the most elegant and lissome, etched with filigreed details.

Ye Olde Riesling Dinner (SDK - Castro): The broadest, ripest wine out of the three Donnhoff GGs, but it still has good acidity. Not flabby, with plenty of mineral cut, and if I had it by itself (which I did last time I had this and enjoyed quite a bit back then), it would be a good wine. But it was just simpler than the other Donnhoffs and was plain outclassed.

Pop and pour. A little sweet for a Spätlese, but still has enough acidity. Great match with homemade gefilte fish, matzo ball soup, and chicken with olives and prunes. No reason to hold further.

Wines with Thai (Matoom): Much better showing than when I last opened a bottle in spring 2023. Soft and weightless, soulful, with smooth buttery citrus and honey, then tarte tatin on the rounded finish. Almost too sweet and flabby, but actually just delightful.

Ye Olde Rieslings: Wow. Unexpectedly open and generous from the get go. Whereas the fruit in the Felsenberg is submerged in the sea of rocky minerality, the fruit and aromatics leap out here like a playful school of dolphins. A complex array of citrus juice and peel (lemon, citron, pomelo?), barely ripe apricot, pastry cream, herbs and and a hint of campfire. There is so much to like in this wine. Glad to have some stashed away to watch evolve over time.

Ye Olde Rieslings: The tightest of the 3 Dönnhoff GGs. A wall of minerals, with some rainwater flowing through, yuzu aromatics, high acid, and more minerals piled on top for good measure. A bit linear and hard to get a read, although clearly a lot of stuffing. Maybe this will be the greater wine in 15 years, but right now it's the least extroverted. 91++

Ye Olde Rieslings: Very floral and a lovely contrast to the Dellchen and Felsenberg. Elegant, floral, crystalline, with less of the wall-of-minerals that the other two show. Like rainwater perfumed by ripe melons and jasmine. Quite young, and shows a lot of promise. Oh so beautiful, even if the Dellchen was just a touch ahead in weight and completeness.

Jersey Boys (Grand Sichuan, Jersey City, NJ): Classic Donnhoff nose - sweet and creamy complex peachy and spicy. Great perfume. Palate is plush and very sweet. Great fruit and spice. Not electric but sneaky acid inthe back they keeps it light. Super creamy and excellent into the finish. Peachy and melon? I’m not a huge Donnhoff fan but for me the verve of 2017 helps make it work. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5.5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17/20.

Grand Sichuan, Jersey City edition (Grand Sichuan, Grove St.): Quite the contrast to the Grünhäus that preceded it - whereas that was all crackling electricity and vibrancy, this is a gentler, quieter wine. Beautiful aromatics - riper peach and white cherry mixed with tarter lime and pear fruit, and gentle floral and honeyed accents. The palate is very similar, dominated by the youthful fruit with a mineral undercurrent that becomes more apparent on the back end. Lovely wine, the kind of Auslese that's perfect at the table with food, rather than a botrytis-heavy dessert wine.

This riesling was a bit more sweet than I expected but it was still nice. There was stone fruit, apple on the palate with nice acidity. Medium minus sweetness.

A stony nose, with a suggestion of honeysuckle and a touch of yuzu. Steely and insistent on the palate, fairly saline towards the finish and with fruit that's so magificently austere it's even more bitter than grapefruit. Really quite herbal too. And so fucking dry. Wow. Worked well with pork shoulder and apple in a cider cream sauce.

10 years after Riesling tasting - 2014 (Restaurant Brunnenstube, Beinstein): Glass: Gabriel Universal
Bottle opened ~10h before the tasting. What an amazingly fresh and perfect bottle! Color was only slightly darker than the 2014. Nose was very similar, just a bit more complex and deeper. Yes, also a bit more mature, but I would never guessed 2004! On the palate an amplified version of 2014! Cool, tension, energy, just a bit of caramel. Complex and long! Full peak. 95-96. Danke Sebastian!!!

Bottle opened ~10h before the tasting. Clear, medium golden color. Beautiful deep, floral nose with lots of white fruit.
On the palate also very beautiful! White fruit, ripe, high acidity, lots of crushed stones, balanced, deep, dense and long. Lovely. 93-94

Robe jaune claire presque blanche. Nez de coquille d'huitre, craie de tableau d'école, de pêche et de citron. Une bouche crayeuse, pâteuse, finale légèrement sucrée manque d'acidité pour réellement être digeste. À laisser reposer en cave.

Shared with friends, the least enthusiastic response was “oh wow!” This really was an amazing bottle that had completely integrated despite its youth. Still showing all the original fruit, but slimmed down just enough to show the facets rather than just the rough form. I never even got around to dissecting it for a fruit salad description, as it was just enthralling to bask in its charms. I suspect this could age effortlessly for decades, but I might drink up my other bottles in an effort to capture the magic again.

Suave and stony, this dry Riesling is a prime example of terroir in a bottle. Dönnhoff's masterful hand takes Riesling growing on selected patches of decomposing slate and transforms into exquisite juice; its striking clarity only adds to its complexity. An exciting, classic and dry wine, ideal for Japanese cuisine, seaweed, oysters, and steamed mushrooms.

The wine looks light gold colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like mango, peach, apple, pear and leesy. It tastes like gooseberry, lemon, apple, peach, pear, melon, leesy and apple blossom. The body is full. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has high acidity.
