  Glass: Zalto Bordeaux
  Popped and poured, drunk over three days. Clear, medium golden color. Clean, pronounced, developing nose with clear, ripe fruit, zests and mineral notes. Very complex, deep and intoxicating.
  Dry, high, ripe acidity. On the palate lots of warm ripe fruit, red berries, ripe lemon and liquid stones all over. What a tension and grip! Pure energy and also wonderful elegance and a beautiful balance. Finish is looong, very mineral with lots of ripe stone fruit and ripe lemon- Certainly at its full peak, can’t imagine that it can get any better. But certainly no hurry! 95-96

  Giallo oro, carico, naso turbinio di profumi dalla nafta alla frutta tropicale alle spezie verdi pepate, bocca grossa, spessa, generoso, richiama il naso, manca un poco di spina acida, ma forse pagava di avere labet accanto.

  Quite often wine gets nitpicked to death. Is something lacking? Is it to much? Is it 93 or 94 points? In an attempt to take in everything a wine has on offer can result in seeing a lot of trees but not the forest.
  However, Dönnhoffs Hermannshöhle just cruises in and puts on THE show. It manages to present itself without any deviations, it’s completely harmonious and elegant and yet intriguing and complex, giving food for thought. The fruit is lovely, a mix of grape, lime, stonefruit and pineapple. The minerals have a whiff of gunpowder, but also slate and limestone. The driving force is the acidity, it powers everything ahead like an arrow shot from a bow - straight into the blue. Lovely now, will surely hold for quite a few years more.

  Asperg Wine Syndrome Tasting Group: Only two guys and some wine: Glass: Zalto Universal
  Popped and poured, drunk over three days. Clear, medium golden color. Clean, medium+ intense, developing nose. Liquid stone! Ripe yellow stone fruit, mixed with fresh herbs. Very deep, dense and complex. Awesome nose, that is continuously changing.
  Dry, high, ripe acidity. On the palate lots of warm ripe fruit, red berries, ripe lemon and liquid stones all over. What a tension and grip! Pure energy and also wonderful elegance and a beautiful balance.
