Dönnhoff Riesling Norheimer Dellchen Grosses Gewächs 2013

94+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “The 2013 Dellchen Grosses Gewächs from the Dönnhoffs is outstanding this year, wafting from the glass in a deep, complex and very classy aromatic mix of apple, grapefruit, iris blossoms, wild yeasts, a beautiful base of slate, incipient notes of petrol and citrus peel. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very suave on the attack, with an excellent core of fruit, exquisite focus and balance and a very, very long, snappy and refined finish. Stellar. 2020-2060. (Mar/Apr 2014)”

94 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): “The 2013 Norheimer Dellchen Riesling Grosses Gewachs is a fascinating Riesling with a transparent and flinty/minerally and slightly citric nose, very clear, bright and complex. The palate is rich and juicy, quite round and mellow but also piquant, spicy, tension-full and intense. This is a great, powerful wine full of potential. To be served in 5 years from now. Drink: 2017-2026. (Jan 2015)”
