Dönnhoff
Hermannshöhle GG Riesling
Amazing! Still fresh but with deep layered complexity.

Sep 2nd, 2024The 2009 Donnhoff Hermannshohle is rich and ample in the glass, showing sweet peaches and pear, with hints of kiwi, honeysuckle, and white smoke. It races across the palate with precision and poise, delivering mineral-tinged orchard fruits, perfectly balancing weighty textures and ripeness with an acid-mineral thrust. The finish is long and floral, complemented by lingering flavors of lime and green apple with cheek puckering tension. Wow!

May 20th, 2020Hey everyone! Riesling is sweet, crappy quality and overpriced! Don't buy any! (Ok, now that the people who don't like Riesling are gone...damn. Stellar. Tremendous producer. Outstanding vineyard. Wish I had a case to watch evolve over twenty-plus years. Wow. Can't get enough.)
