Gwen's belated birthday: Compared to the last bottle this was a little cloying like a Sauternes. The apricot and honey notes were too dominant and it lacked some acidity.

Best QPR for S$150: Brought this for dessert. Horrible crumbly cork as is the norm for old German wines. Much better than the last 2001 Donnhoff that I opened, this was a lot fresher and expressive. Apricot, orange peel, lovely creamy mouthfeel with a steely acidic spine. Haunting finish. Think this was the WOTN for most.

Brilliant. Still quite youthful and vibrant - there's a greenish tinge to the colour and the fruit seems shockingly youthful and fresh, even though there's a lot more savoury and honeyed complexity than I remember from my last bottle 6 years ago. The sweetness has subsided some; it's a more elegant wine now with a remarkable combination of power and that delicate, floating Dönnhoff palate presence. Glad I have one more.

Shot. Bad storage before it got to me. Perhaps.
