    May 27, 2019 - It's been some time and I wanted to check in on this.
    Color: Light golden yellow
    Smell: Lime, peach, green banana, & cherimoya with hints of camomile.
    Taste: White peach, quince, yellow apple, and hints of lime.
    Overall: This is such a phenomenal wine. It paired beautifully with our sushi, but is easy enough to love on it's own that I could see myself drinking this to the porch as the sun sets. Outstanding!!!

    love your TN, my last bottles of this vintage were.... a bit heavy and.... very unusual or lets say remarkable, lacking the Dönnhoff tension.
    Hope my next pnp GG Hermannshöhle 2012 will meet your impression!
    Cheers from Hamburg

    6/5/19, 8:38 AM - fc1910 - I used to be stationed in Darmstadt. So my love for German Riesling has been growing for quite some time. Sorry to hear your last bottle was less expressive. I have a few more and think they seem like they keep improving. Hopefully you could find some of the 2017. They’ve been harder to find here in the US.
