Opened dense, viscous, and great mouth feel but a little flat in taste. After an hour, really opened up with very good fruit. Notes of peach, passion fruit, dried pineapple, grapefruit

Medium gelb. In der Nase etwas feuchte Erde. Im Mund explodiert das Dellchen förmlich. Anfangs noch unter Spannung, breitet sich nach 1,5 Stunden ein cremig, honigartiger Schmelz aus. Grasige Zitrone, Apfelschale, feuchte Blätter, eine über den Aromen schwebende Säure. Wurde Glas für Glas immer komplexer mit langem Abgang. Hervorragender Wein, der anfangs noch so dicht ist, dass er sicherlich ein paar weitere gute Jahre vor sich hat. Auf jeden Fall mind. 1 Stunde vorher öffnen, nach 2 Stunden war der Saft noch harmonischer. Tolles Dellchen im guten Zeitfenster!

Dönnhoff Dellchen Vertical Tasting (Frankfurt): More vegetal nose, with cucumber, still lemon zesty and mineral, but quite different to other Dellchen vintages. This will be very pleasant when served with food, e.g. salmon with wasabi, sushi and so on.

Very pretty engaging nose on the lemon/lime spectrum with just a hint of Riesling revealing honey. Some herbs and mineral notes. Palate just off the edge of truly dry but I don’t agree with the too sweet comments. More like the sweet lemon one sees from Puligny white Burgs, with that kind of intense density paired to a mid-weight mouthful. Tart long finish. Definitely a serious acidic zing, refreshing and demanding another sip. This is a very good dry Riesling. Again it does remind me of 1er or GC white Burg, but with zero oak influence.
