Lemon gold. Rather spicy, cinnamon-y, baked apple nose. Rich, fat, mouthfeel. Dried mango and candied pineapple. Baking spices again. Red apple, apple pie. Apple skins and grape skins. Slightly bitter pomelo on the long finish. Lovely stuff. Went very nicely with our pan-Asian dinner of Char Kway Teow, Duck in red curry, Beef rendang, and our local version of ceviche called kinilaw which uses vinegar instead of citrus.

First bottle and feels like this is approaching peak. Peach, yellow fruit, with grapefruit and greener citrus zest, perfect Spatlese weight and a refreshing slate aspect to the finish although this came across as softer and a little more delicate than eg NH. ***1/2++

From glass. Pale cloudy yellow at first, then more of a sheen. Nose of flat, creamy coconut, lemon custard and a bit of rubber. But Donnhoff is full of surprises: vibrant, arresting, zesty acidity; full, rich, juicy lemon and gray rockies; clean finish, lingering more on gums than tongue. Some coconut and custard too, but mostly intense citrus. Delicious.

White fruit (peach, tropical fruit - mango, citrus), floral, honey, nice sweetness, good acidity. Bright. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.
