Dönnhoff

Höllenpfad im Mühlenberg Grosses Gewächs Riesling 2020

2020. One of three Rieslings we had with dinner tonight at The Oven Cellar. Dönnhoff is my daughter’s favorite producer, but she’s never had a GG wine. This wine had the creamiest texture and great orchard fruit flavors. Paired great with the all the dishes we had. — 10 days ago

Last bottle, best bottle. Big bang for the buck, punches way above it’s weight, etc. Cherry, sun dried tomato, hot rock, lavender and such. Excellent. — 5 months ago

Kirchenstuck Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2020

Needs a good 75 minUte decant. Very reluctant.

Nose: Smokey minerals. Lemon rind. Pith. Some sea breeze. Complete. Much richer and more dense as it opens.

Palate: hint of sweet lemon. Hidden density. Delicious. Elegant. Almost an herbal liquor taste after an hour. Denser an hour in.

Domaine André Bonhomme

Les Pierres Blanches Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2022

Grape: 100% Chardonnay
Region: Viré-Clessé
Producer: Domaine André Bonhomme

What to expect:

* Nose: Ripe lemon, yellow apple, pear, white flowers, a touch of honey.
* Palate: Richer and rounder than Chablis, but fresher and less oaky than many Côte de Beaune whites.
* Texture: Creamy with excellent minerality and a long, saline finish.
* Style: Elegant rather than powerful.

More later but wow is this stunning as I remember. So refined and elegant. Unreal fruit, granitic lift and length. Genius. Ahh, so gamey, meaty, olivey and feral now with great sweet fruits and a silky texture. Gorgeous. — a year ago

Gut Hermannsberg

Niederhäuser Steinberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2022

Reductive and a bit closed with a herby, a touch bitte note. Juicy, racy acidity with underripe lemon. Yet there’s some darker character - not the flowery light type. Quite some weight & power. Yet not so much charm.
Somehow Nahe doesn’t shine in ‘22.

Aged in Stockinger barrels. Spicy, with a touch of wood and cake spices. No sulfites. Juicy, clean and remarkably pure, with gras texture balanced by freshness. Gentle, delicate, deep and explosive all at once. — 22 days ago

Wow.

Nose is “outrageous” dense. Umami. Complex. Wow.

Palate: rich but balanced. Dense but bright. Awesome.

As this opens fucktastic brininess.

Les Pierres Dorées Pinot Noir 2016

A French Pinot Noir, which is interestingly grown in Beaujolais. Begins with a welcome balance of fruit and earth on the nose with raspberry and cranberry along notes of mushroom and black pepper.  These flavors continue onto a very well balanced palate which has an a lively vein of acidity running though it. A perfect pairing with creamy truffle steak penne! [4/29/23] ($35) — 3 years ago

Young, but great upside potential. Old vine Marsanne from the lieu-dit Aubert, east of the Sainte Epine vineyard. One of the original St Joseph appellation parcels, tended by Trollat for decades according to the spec sheet. Delightful. — 5 years ago

My bottle was tight as well. But this was NUTS out of barrel. I have faith it will blossom.
