August 28, 2020 - With family, enjoying take-out from China Village in Albany. PnP. (opened along side a 2003 Donnhoff Spatlese.) Straw gold in color. Lemon zest and apples on the nose. In tje mouth I get honeydew melon, citrus with some minerlity (slate ?) in the background. Nicely balanced with good acidity, a measure of sweetness and that purity I look for in Donnhoff's Rieslings. This most likely has many years to gp.

August 2, 2019 - Drank at 51 degrees; out of white wine glass
Look: pale straw; very few, quick legs
Nose: white flower, limestone, soft lemon, stone fruit, salt
Palate: ripe stone fruit to lemon to strong salinity with a soft background of minerality; high saline finish with minerality, salt fades to soft minerals and lemon, medium length finish; medium sweetness; medium+ acidity; medium+ body; a fairly silky oily texture (very nice)
Overall thoughts: Great wine with very nice layered flavors, especially fruit and salinity; very nice silky smooth, oily mouthfeel; could probably benefit from a bit more acidity, but it's still nicely balanced. The great mouthfeel elevated this wine even though it could use a bit more acid1 person found this helpful Comment -

June 8, 2019 - Tiny tasting pour. Still, beautiful wine. Very balanced sugar/acid. Like drinking a bouquet of flowers.
