2010 Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Spätlese Auction Nahe

AP 7753010 18 11. Ordered at a restaurant, I am unsure if this is the auction bottle; it’s definitely not the standard Spatlese, as it has a Gold capsule and is labeled “alte Reben”.

Beautiful spicy honey nose.
Botritized spice throughout. Smoke note. No petrol. Mineral throughout. Still primary, dominated by mineral, super-pure dried apricot and botrytis spice, just the barest hint of undergrowth. Good acidity, though not electric - leans just a tad fat. Long mineral finish. Tasty.

from magnum

6/27/23, 2:40 AM - I had it from magnum and it was approachable. In generell, I think, the vintage 2017 is beginning to close down. From my experience with older vintages as for example 2009 and 2011, there is no hurry. So, if possible, wait a few more years.

5/30/20, 1:58 AM - I had 5 bottles and was curios, too. This is very good right now, but will be great in 8-10 years, I think. So I will hide my remaining bottles. My recommendation: Drink one and bury the rest.
On the second day open it was much better than on day one.

AP 23 06. Interestingly enough, the AP number differs from the version Fisch and Rayer reviewed (24 06). This GK bottling sports the Trier Versteigerung sticker and was purchased from a reputable auction house, but I'm still curious about the discrepancy.

Bottling number aside, this is stunningly rich. So much botrytis it practically reeks of cinnamon and Chinese five spice. The flavor pungency suggests a beerenauslese (more concentrated even than the 2006 Berkasteler Badstube Beerenauslese from the same vendor) although I wish I opened a standard GK bottling from this vintage alongside to compare. Honey and more of a "grapey" flavor than the high-botrytis 2006 offerings, although the spice reminds me more of Prum's Himmelreich bottlings.

I tend to shy away from inflated scoring on upper-Pradikat wines just because they leave a bigger impression, but credit is due where credit is due, and Prum did exceptionally well in this case.

12/31/19, 4:19 AM - Ap Nr 23/06 is correct for the GKA auction. Ap Nr. 24/06 belongs to the Lange Goldkapsel auction. I have both wines in my cellar. The MoselFineWines tasting note is missing the word „Lange“.

2017 Weingut Keller Abts E® Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Rheinhessen

5/31/2019 - fc1910 Likes this wine:

Keller Open 2019 (Weingut Keller, Flörsheim-Dalsheim): This bottling shows more minerality than the Hubacker, great density, and clarity, really, really convincing, but the price tag of both Auslesen Goldkapsel, 125€ per bottle 0,375, only for KPK lovers.... ;-), 93(+) potential

berlinhotel commented:

6/9/19, 4:38 AM - still not a bargain, but the price is 125€ per 0,75 !
