A coral reef of white melody; precise and chiseled, it’s like the silky quiet following the last notes of a piece of music.
"Thyme, marjoram, black tea, apple wood and pronounced pit-inflected white peach serve for pungent, smoky intrigue. As the wine takes on air, gentian adds a hauntingly bitter-sweet fragrance. The palate displays an improbably combination of richness, fleshiness and expansiveness with transparency to intricate herbal and diversely mineral impingements as well as conveying something I can only call poise. There is just enough succulence of white peach and brightness of lime to lend luscious appeal and animation while conveying a certain sense of restraint. The prodigious finishing flavors spread like a billowing carpet of herbs and bittersweet-perfume flowers strewn with stony crystals and saliva-inducing grains of mineral salts. This is not a powerful wine; but it is one that makes a powerful and profound statement and lucidly testifies to a great site. Incidentally, there are now typically four Stückfässer of this for a total volume of nearly 5,000 liters, far more than of any other Dönnhoff Grosse Gewächse." 95 - David Schildknecht
