  Beautiful citrus nose with also an unusual floral component. Delicate light weight. Long refreshing finish with plenty of minerality. This is drinking extremely well and I would guess it still has plenty of years left.
  
  P.S. Actually opened up further with air, with some wet stone added to the nose and apricot on the finish. After a couple more hours, slight honey and spicy tropical, especially mango starting to be revealed in the nose. Outstanding QPR wine. Wish I had purchased more back when it was under $20.

  Light golden. Developing slowly and holding through for a another decade this fruity wine shows scents and flavors of pears, papaya, honey, citrus and slate. Light, but with enough intensity of flavors to be at least very good to outstanding. Once scored by David Schildknecht (88 points) with a drinking window till 2015. LOL. The first serious note on this in the WA was the note on the 2016 from Stephan Reinhardt (90 points, -2033). Nothing in decline here. 5/12/16/8 -2030 if stored at perfect conditions since release.

  Light golden colour. This is one of the best years for this wine so far. I drink this at age 10+. Of course it is nice after release but even this entry level wine from Dönnhoff benefits in most years from cellaring. Right now this is really in a marvelous stage. The fruit shows great nuances between citrus, yellow and white fruits and this is accompanied by tertiary notes. Those who complain that it is to old, have to realize that they bought a bottle that wasn't cellared well since release or they simply don't like aged riesling. Well cellared examples are going to hold through and possibly age well for another decade. 5/12/16/8. - 2028+

  Golden color, nice acid. Still tasty for an older Riesling, although it probably should have been consumed earlier. I like older whites, so it's OK with me.

  Drank over three days. It was at its best on day 3. Golden in color, slightly deep. The nose is clean, slightly metallic with a bit of light papaya. On the palate, this is slightly sweet. Clean. no diesel. Great texture. 10%. What a great value. Ageing slowly. no hurry.
