2005 Dönnhoff Riesling

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Sunday, March 2, 2014 - Some of the universal questions shall forever remain unanswered (why are we here, why do bad things happen to good people, why are the Cubs, Knicks, Browns, etc. cursed with inept management). I need to answer the question as to why I did not, until recently, buy a case of Donnhoff's Estate Riesling each and every year. Going on 9 years old, the 2005 Donnhoff Estate Riesling is just rolling along as if it has all the time in the world. Ripe peach, lemon, salty stones and the barest hint of smoke all float out of the glass, glide across the palate, and linger like the memory of a kiss. What an amazing wine, that has come from comparatively humble origins (Oberhauser Kieselberg, Oberhauser Felsenberg). Lovely.
