Tasting Notes

An uncanny alliance of richness and creaminess with delicacy and refreshment characterizes Donnhoff's 2007 Schlossbockelheimer Felsenberg Riesling Auslese, which was picked-out over his entire holdings in that site. Red currant, musk melon, pear, quince, and lily in the nose lead to an exchange of berries, pit fruits, citrus, and smoky, pungent, malty, ore-like elements. This lacks the striking intensity or intricate interplay that characterized some of the best wines in this year's collection, but it was utterly embryonic in April and only beginning to show its refinement and elegance after six months in bottle. It should be a two-decade keeper.
