Tasting notes

Straw/greenish colour. Intence and fruity nose. A little complex. Hints of white fruits, white flowers. Some slate. Sweet and fruity in the mouth. Fine balancing acids and with the typical Dönnhoff-elegance. All kinds of fruits and some slate. Citrusy finish and closing towards the end. Looks like it is closing down. Let it rest for another 5-6 years.
This is a very good riesling spätlese, especially the structure and elegance is amazing. The fruit could have had a little more concentration and some more mineral depth. Hope it will show more with time.
