Sleek and cool, this is such a wonderful riesling. Doesn't have the exotic tropical aromas that some Mosel riesling's can have, but does have nice melon and pear tones. Loved the sharp acidity and the minerality. Screaming value.

Some wet stone, lots of petrichor, and peach. Super young with a lot of peach and and saline notes on the palate. Tons of minerality throughout. Lots of potential.

Far more linear and zippy than tonight's other Donnhoff's. The palate feels like peaches and rocks were cofermented with the riesling. Incredibly edgy and powerful. Amazing.

A great Verset. Aromas are meaty, and intensely rustic. Palate is exotic, and airy with very dense meaty flavors. Quintessential Verset, and the best '96 I've had. Thanks Salil for opening this!

Nose of peach and mango with some fresh petrichor tones. This had a definite creamy note on the palate - maybe a bit milky, but ultimately the creaminess was subtle. A deep wine with lots of white floral notes underneath the tropical fruits. Very good wine that had a lot of depth and character.

A lot of slate and peach on the nose. Great palate with a lot of firmness and refinement. Fruits are vibrant and zippy, nice sweetness on the end but the acidity keeps the sweetness in check. Should age very well.
