  Off dry. Medium weight and very well balanced with great acidity and a long, fantastic finish. Ready to drink now but this offering has many years of life. Very happy I have more.

  Bright lemon peel colored
  Petrol, lemon, stone fruit. Melons. Orange licorice.
  Balanced with fading acidity. Medium finish. Light sweetness. Tastes much Iike the nose. A well made wine. Might get better with some more age. A little pricey IMO. BRITT FRIENDLY!
  
  Nice sipper on a sunny Canada day holiday.

  Surprised and pleased at how open and giving this was. Finely tuned balance of sweetness and acidity, where neither stuck out at any point. Crisp peach and cherry fruit, excellent palate presence, and good sustain on the finish, made this a very complete Riesling. Delicious with charcuterie, and more than a little addictive just on its own. Drink now and for a long time from now.

  Dönnhoff Norheimer Kirschheck Spätlese 2014 was not meant to be drunk tonight, but was pulled by mistake. Oh well. It was deliciously sweet, with perfect balance between the acid, fruit & sweetness.

  Floral and slightly peachy nose. Ripe peach and apricot on the palate, with a fleeting sensation of lushness that quickly finishes delicate, leaving a lovely lingering fruitiness with about perfect acidity - never screaming, but certainly assertive. Not terribly complex yet, and slightly sweeter than off-dry. A pure pleasure.
