  Pale gold appearance, delicate.
  
  There is a veiled whiff of (wild ferment?) or reduction but it is impressively clean and pure. Intensely lime-scented but also a pillowy peach and soft strawberry creaminess. Gets me thinking of Opal Fruits. Time brings a more mineral character, especially pools and wet stones, some flint or struck match and pressed may blossom.
  
  The palate? WOW electric intensity, very concentrated lime citrus character and a concentrated vein of viscosity – think lime cordial (spicy and sweet), bleeding into creamy peach and strawberry again. Stimulating stuff, utterly delicious with a compact fruity/floral finish. remarkable but so young and compact right now.
  
  I really love the raciness and delicacy of the 2021s i've tasted. The concentration and richness is amazing but it feels balanced and incredibly moreish.

  Tasted at the winery. Tasted side by side with the Kreuznacher Kabinett and Brucke Spatlese. 10-15 % of the grapes were botrytised.
  
  Has that distinct Donnhoff Oberhauser Brucke combination of considerable intensity, ripe acidity and green aromatics to add lift. Peach, pineapple, passionfruit, granny smith apples and lemon verbena. Compared to the Spatlese, this was somewhat riper, sweeter and longer. Not by much, but everything appears to be turned up by 10-20 %.
