2001 Dönnhoff Norheimer Dellchen Riesling Auslese - Germany, Nahe (6/21/2015)
Wow is this fabulous. It still has vibrant cherry and peach fruit, and is showing a smoky element as well. Where this shines is the nearly endless finish. Ip the flavors just keep pushing through, never losing intensity. Then, when things finally start to calm down there is this element of honey coated salt that I have not experienced in any other wine. It's just fascinating, and after on an hour the bottle is nearly gone. This has been a wow wine for years, and remains one today. I see nothing that would lead me to think that it cannot go another 10-15 years.
FYI-CellarTracker says this is a gold cap. It's not. I edited the name here to be correct. Not all Donnhoff Auslese had gold capsules back then.
