Donnhoff, Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Spatlese Vintage:2016 Like most of the wines

Like most of the wines in the range

A broadranging and wonderfully elegant array features notes of spice

even though the musts here averaged a relatively high 89 degrees Oechsle

This may well better harmonize but it would be fair to observe that the balance isn’t perfect

Donnhoff, Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Spatlese Vintage:2016 Like most of the winesPale golden yellow. Mesmerizing aromas of papaya, cherry, sweet herbs and tobacco. Discreet yet intense cherry fruit rises from the mid palate, accompanied by brilliant acidity. Animated and spicy wine with a riveting finish. Perhaps the finest of the spatleses shown here. Joel B.
