Tasting notes

Very light straw/greenish colour. Fine nose, perhaps a bit shy. Hints of sweet flowers, blackcurrant-leafs, mineral; some slate and earth. Powerful and quite sweet in the mouth. More concentration of fruit than other 2004's from Dönnhoff. A bit "wilder" and perhaps not as elegant wine, a little more rustic. But very interesting. Blackcurrant-leafs, sweet flowers, slate, light earth and citrusy finish. The structure is great with long acidic finish. Cleansing. I really like this a lot. I seem always to like the Kirschheck. The Dönnhoff spätlese from 2004 that drinks best now and one of my favorites. Very fine.
