Donnhoff, Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling BA

Donnhoff, Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling BADonnhoffs 2006 Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Beerenauslese replicates the sort of amazing layering of flavors for which this site is famous, and which this years Auslese awesomely displayed. As Donnhoff remarks even here you can recognize the site, but on a different plane. But sheer density doesnt seem to render the layers harder to separate. With its creamy richness comes a remarkable, wafting sense of levity. Honey, pasted nuts and pit

This is a dazzling effort

the Prums were blessed this year with terrific quality but cursed with a dearth of material that could legitimately be bottled even as Spatlese let alone Kabinett

with a concentrated core of ripe fruit

Among the wines still in barrel

and spicy new oak

all wrapped in a firm

it's intellectual

and a long

fresh and absolutely delicate
