Wines Tasted at HDH Auction (Tru - Chicago IL): Massively concentrated apricot, great intensity. Good acidity helping with balance and excellent textures. Sweetness is slightly subdued and not the most prominent component. Very long. Incredibly impressive this young, this should amazing in a decade+.

HDH auction tasting at Tru (Chicago, IL): #18-03. From half bottle. Burnished golden colour. Very spicy nose with a light hint of musk. The palate is obviously very sweet but there is enough acid to hold everything together. Some secondary characteristics have emerged -- brown spice, orange peel, brown sugar, but fresh peaches and other fruit flavours show up as well. There is an incredible amount of stuffing and extract. The finish goes on forever. Another legend from Doennhoff.
HDH Auction (Tru - Chicago, IL): Beautiful amber color. The has tones of sweet peach, lychee, mushroom, and pear. Intense apricot and pear on the palate, but searing acidity too.
