Rove dorée; Splendide nez, en fraîcheur, sur des notes de fruits à chaires jaunes comme l'ananas & la mangue en entre autre. Il y a aussi des notes de poires blanches & des épices vertes qui apportent une belle profondeur & complexité au bouquet. Tout semble bien intégré & fondu. La bouche est d'abord grasse, quasi huileuse en attaque, sur des notes de fruits à chaires jaunes, de miel & de gingembre. L'ensemble se tends en milieu de bouche, il y a cette impression que tous les arômes perçus ont été frotté sur des galets de rivières mouillées... Bref, le contraste entre le début & la fin de bouche est spectaculaire, équilibre exemplaire. Excellent!

This was a very, very good showing for this wine. The balance between sweetness and acidity, youthful fruit and evolving flavors seemed pretty perfect. And that from someone that tends to feel the Donnhoff spatlesen tend to be delicious young, but no better with age. This bottle didn't uphold that view.

Highly drinkable and easy. Effusively juicy and exotic spiced yellow peach fill the glass in this nicely balanced Spätlese. The sweetness was very much in check, which certainly helped the ripe fruit from being anything but pure and delicious. The level of purity and precision in the winemaking at Donnhoff shines through yet again. You can feel the expert hand of their craft.

Sweet tropical fruits with delicate bouquet of a lot of orchard fruits. Elegant finish. Drinking well and best served not too cold.
