February 18, 2024 - One last round at Jade Court (Chicago, IL): Very impressive -- I've never really been much of a fan of Dönnhoff's GGs (though I am very much a Dönnhoff superfan) -- and I've always thought that it was such a shame that the Dellchen grapes became this rather than the absolutely stunning Spätlese that they used to make. Anyway, this bottle of GG was very much in the zone -- dialled in with fruit, minerality, acidity, and all that. A bit on the lighter side with an airy disposition but plenty dense on the palate as well.

May 17, 2023 - So my TNs on this wine have been all over the place. I drank this one over two nights. The first night was a really good dry wine with medium acidity, medium body and good stone fruit - apricot and peach. The second night it was almost like a Pradikatswein. I'm not sure how that happened. Still good but not what I was expecting.

December 14, 2022 - This has either improved a lot or I was in a better mood. I had this over 3 nights (Coravin'd). The first night was a little mushy, but the second and third night things tightened up and it was a lovely dry Riesling, in its prime. A big mouthfeel with a mid-palette which stone and apple. Great acidity and a long finish. Really nice wine and many years to go.

November 23, 2020 - I was a tad disappointed. This was a good well made GG, but it was jus not exciting. Very well made, integrated, good acidity, good sized mouth -feel. Medium finish. Grapefruit and lemon. I will try another bottle and see how I feel after that.

2011 German Catalog, 3/1/2011 (link)(Dönnhoff Dellchen Riesling Grosses Gewächs) ($69.00) This is the above guy’s considerably more accommodating wife. She smells of the kitchen and the soup she has simmering. She attends to your comfort. But she has a bookcase above the eating table, containing her many volumes of poetry.
