Hermann Dönnhoff; AP 7 753 010 012 94; Opened 6/06 at Winds; Yelllow Springs, OH, after a 2007 Rie; note written 6/08. $20/375 ml; Village Corner, Ann Arbor; Terry Theise Estate Selections; Imported by AHD Associates; Troy, MI 48083. Importer Weinhandel Walter Strub GmbH. 55283 Nierstein/Rh.

Starts burnished bronze, but becomes deep gold-orange, and very refractive, with some tartrate crystals.The wine is young for type, with considerable young-style tastes and scents. The predominant scent is peach and gasoline. There is some caramel and cherry and some soupiness.

Vivid acidity and nearly BA sweet, although with more lissomeness. This wine will take several days after opening. to develop the style I've had in other bottles of this vintage. The wine is highly polished as to style and could have been aged ten to fifteen years more. I think this variation is due mainly to uneven cork quality.There is just a touch of heat on the end-palate.
