Wednesday, July 6, 2016 - White Burgundy Dinner at Nico (Chicago, IL): #21-02, 8% abv. Well, it was supposed to be a night of chardonnay, but you seriously have to be a real idiot to turn down what is probably some of the greatest riesling ever made. Dönnhoff is a genius with the sweet wines, and this must surely rank among the greatest wines that have come out of the Weingut. It's almost impossible to describe this wine, except as a veritable cornucopia of fruit. Everything mixed together but incredibly delineated as well. One second it's peach, another it's white cherry, or maybe some mango and lemongrass... the palate has that exact same ability to morph into all these different flavours as well. I know what I'm getting into when I get to taste these wines, but it's thrilling every time. Every single damn time. What a treat.
