WTN: Dönnhoff Großes Gewächs

  • 2007 Dönnhoff Felsenberg Riesling Großes Gewächs - Germany, Nahe (6/2/2020)
    Unfortunately my last bottle, but what a wine! Grilled pear, cinnamon spice, peach, ginger, fresh hay, etcetera...There’s more going on than I can possibly catalog. The acidity is enlivening, but not dominating. An infinity pool of flavor, with a finish that extends to the horizon. It’s drinking incredibly well now, but has the body and structure to go on for ten more year or even longer.

Very impressive. I still have a few '14s. It's hard to keep my hands off of them.

Try.

These wines deserve the chance to mature. I am jealously protecting a 6 vintage (non-consecutive) vertical of Hermannshohle Grosses Gewächs for a (soon) future tasting.
