Strangely, my tasting note from 2021 continues to apply word-for-word... bright red, slightly immature fruit on the nose, then much more grown-up and granitic on the palate. Perhaps a hint of something leathery coming through too?

One would never guess a wine this taut derived from the 2018 vintage, and even at six years of age it remains overly tensile. Some attractive mineral-tinged crabappley fruit, and some thrill from the sheer acidity, but ultimately we didn't find it massively interesting (and it's not clear whether we would have done with five years more development either).

2019 Dönnhoff Hermannshöhle Riesling Großes Gewächs

A stony nose, with a suggestion of honeysuckle and a touch of yuzu. Steely and insistent on the palate, fairly saline towards the finish and with fruit that's so magificently austere it's even more bitter than grapefruit. Really quite herbal too. And so fucking dry. Wow. Worked well with pork shoulder and apple in a cider cream sauce.
