Not much to add to kenv's note, other than this made me long for the old days of Dellchen being vinified as Spätlese, rather than *sigh* GG.

Gruaud Larose at Salil's: Open one week in my fridge in hopes that the high acidity would mellow. It did, but not enough for me. Maybe it's because the bouquet is classic Dönnhoff Dellchen (ie.beautiful sweet citrus and petrol) that I am so shocked by the acidity in this wine. Salil says 2011 should be a good vintage for Großes Gewächs. I think this means that Großes Gewächs is just not for me.

The cork broke upon removal, so I had to push the remainder into the bottle then decant the wine through a filter. Apparently, no harm was done as the wine was wonderfully enjoyable, and the wine, in fact, opened a bit while in the decanter. Chilled.
The color was a clear medium yellow. Notes of orange, citrus and minerality on the nose. The medium to plus bodied palate yielded all of the above with the orange, some peach and lime citrus leading the way. As sweet as expected for a Spatlese with good acidity to keep everything in balance. Not sure it's going to get any better but should continue to hold.

Gorgeous wine. Honey, apricots, minerals, lovely acidity. Very balanced and fresh. Does not feel heavy like many dessert wines can be. I'll need to find some of this!

#15-96, 9% abv. From half-bottle. The colour of a light madeira, but certainly far fresher than that. Relatively light, with more of a texture that feels like Auslese than sweetness. In fact, by modern standards, this is probably more like Kabinett sweetness. Quite high acidity, but disappointingly simple on the palate, showing very heightened acidity and a bit of thinness that I wouldn't expect from a Dönnhoff Auslese.

Absolutley beautiful Riesling. Incredible rich and thick mouthfeel. Notes of stone fruits, slate minerality, flowers. Finish is endless. Incredible balance and finesse. will age forever.

Having had this wine twice and one of the times being at Gordon Ramsey's Hell's Kitchen. I can confidently say this is a fantastic wine to pair with food. It is a rounded rich flavor that draws into a lingering finish. I liked that compared to other Rieslings it didn't show too strong on the acidity and paired nicely with food.
Probably not my first pick for a porch sipper, but well balanced.
I am giving it a solid 90.

The wine looks light gold colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like apricot, sandalwood, vanilla and lead pencil. The body is medium. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Pale lemon in the glass. When I saw this brought to the table, my first thought was “this is going to be way too young”. Boy was I wrong. It’s young, yes, but ready to be chugged straight from the bottle if you can’t wait a decade. Beautiful nose of all sorts of citrus fruit, nectarine, peach, crushed rocks, jasmine. Palate is electric, with some nice fruit concentration to contribute to the structure. Not hefty in any way, but has enough power to carry it into years and years of aging. Balance on point, varietal expression on point. Just an all around incredible wine. Thank god the majority of Rieslings are not in the Burg price range, this would be in the thousands I’m sure.

Last nights 2017 made me wonder if the 2017’s Riesling GG are awaking?!?

YES they START to do so 👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Don’t get me wrong, no rush here, but if you have a big stock, pop one!

👁️ light straw yellow

👃 most restrained still, when it gets warmer it shows beautiful finesse of white flowers, mandarine, slate, all subtle &fine!

👄 again like I said last night, electric ⚡️, great 🍋 & 🍋‍🟩 but also 🍊. Super light but very long finish.

Only at the start, might get close to perfect!

Now - 2040

4/28/2024 - La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 94 points

Dinner at Spago Beverly Hills (Beverly Hills, CA): Sampled from a well-cellared bottle, this 22-year-old, medium-to-deep golden Riesling offers a gorgeous bouquet of blood oranges, white peaches, lemon verbena, honey and meringue, all dusted with a hint of diesel. Medium-bodied and only slightly sweet, it delivers flavors congruent with the aromas, buttressed with vibrant acidity. The wine's modest 8.5% alcohol lurks quietly while the flavors build on the layered mid-palate. Long and mineral-laden on the back end, this is a beautiful wine that will easily go another decade. Drink now-2034.

Appreciated it much more than the Felsenberg 2014 2 days ago: only a bit petrol, otherwise exotic fruit, yellow peaches, pear. Good length and density, long years ahead.

4th half of 10, pnp and drunk over 2 nights, perfect cork and level, even more dark umber than previously, but fresh, vv complex, mouth expanding and with a persistence which is hard to remove (5 minutes plus), hard to see upside but no rush. VFI (19.5)........hard to relate colour to the freshness of flavours, perhaps cf Huet Vouvray Cuvee Constance or an old Tokay Essencia!!

Nine (9) years since last visit. Pale lemon in color. Presents ripe aromas of green apple, pear, honeysuckle and lime zest. Concur with other observations on palate presence. Slightly muddled and flabby as it lacks required acidity to balance against sweet candied fruit. Provides fruit-driven finish with some minerality poking through. Paired w/Sichuan Hot Pot. One (1) more remaining so will see if this is one off.

Unbelievable qpr. Elegantly, lightly sweet with uplifting acidity that keeps this so bright and fresh. Loads of citrus, apricot, pomegranate, linden, and a sleek mineral finish. Classic Dönnhoff, so chic and elegant. Delicious now but has enough sugar and acidity to last for decades.

Bright color. Slight effervescence. Clean, bright, straightforward. Nice body. Good minerals— reminded me a bit like quartz? Fantastic dry Riesling and should be stupidly good with age. On the other hand, should be awesome anywhere on the continuum. Today, three years from now, or 10 years from now should be awesome— just different.

November 2023 Riesling Tasting (K&L): This has beautiful white fruit on the palate, a delicate touch on the palate that is not too ripe, good acidity that balances the sweetness, and a real intensity of flavor. Delightful.

Needs a little bit of time to settle down and be ready to be drinkable. Acids are quite fresh, but the potential is there (become more round). Would suggest checking in 3 years or so.

Colour: hint of gold.
Acids: high.
Texture: medium.
Finish: medium.

Aromas: honeysuckle, melon, minerality, floral, and hint of petroleum.

Artisans of Sardinia - April 2024 (London): Dark colour and a very prominent nose. Loads of tangerine and grapefruit oil that are followed by honey, apricots and marmalade. Viscous and decadent with enough acidity to make it fresh. Beautiful
