    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Dönnhoff, Oberhäuser Brücke, Riesling, Spätlese, 2014

    Much more pungently spicy and mineral on nose, the palate has lovely fresh pineapple and mango fruit, some salt notes, and quite a racy acidity for the vintage, a typical feature of the cold Brucke vineyard (which produced no Auslese or Eiswein this year). Dancing stuff, pitch perfect balance. Lovely indeed.

    David Schildknecht, Vinous
    Redcurrant, lime and mint waft alluringly from the glass. The luscious and delicate palate suggests jellied redcurrant and lime sorbet laced with green herbal extracts as well as mineral salts. The result is coolingly soothing yet at the same time stimulating, not least of the salivary glands. Suggestions of almond paste and candied lime peel tug the long finish in a confectionery direction but without primary juiciness or refreshment being denied.
