January 27, 2024 - No detailed TN. Quite sweet and almost luscious, fruit has mostly evolved into tertiary flavors, a bit of botrytis and a bit of aged Riesling, this was rather nice to end the night.
January 12, 2024 - Part of an all-Riesling magnum night at Chinese restaurant with my wine group. The other being the 2014 Domaine Weinbach Riesling Schlossberg Cuvee Sainte Catherine. The Donnhoff was off-dry, maybe even sweet. It went very well with the spices in the food and especially well with the duck that we all had. The color was a little darker than I had remembered from a previous bottle (years ago), the finish was long, and we all loved this!
September 13, 2023 - Sweet but fresh and balanced, and exactly what I was hoping for from this half-bottle. Nice acidity (on day 1) athough this waned after 1.5 weeks in the fridge. Honey, pineapple and caramel notes, as well as additional tropical fruits.
August 29, 2023 - Fresh and elegant, super easy drinking and displayed all the classic Riesling characters (no petrol) which was great.
September 3, 2022 - Golden color, nose with dried apricot, black tea, spices and lemon peel. Palate is fresh, lush and sweet, but in no way gluey. Elegant wine, needs no pairing. Stunning beauty with years to go.
April 29, 2022 - Liquid apricot with honey and richness
April 10, 2022 - Seems very complex, just opened and already developing minute by minute into some new phase. Luscious tropical fruits in the background. Interesting elements more on the palette. Noticed cloves on the nose.
*4th night. Grapefruit, caraway and celery on the nose. Beautiful, expressive with a lot going on.

April 24, 2021 - Magnificent 6 Ride Again: Lemon, apple, pear and passionfruit. Rich flavour, good acid that cuts through well. Good length and balance here, a really nice drink.
