I'm at a gas station: petrol aromas. What a fantastic Riesling with some distinct slate mineral tastes.

Tastes like it's like 3 years old. Zippy, a little rich and sweet for me, but really lively

2004 Niederhaeuser Hermannshoehle Riesling Spaetlese, Nahe, Germany...for those who felt 2003 was "ueber ripe", rest assured that 2004 will refresh your palate. This one is no exception, high acid, destined for a long life. Athletic and bright with flavours of apple, lemon and melon and the slightest hint of petrol. Moderate sweetness and freshness lends itself to spicy Thai style salads.

Focused, powerful, flinty, medium plus bodied and killer acidity to play off the rich core of fruit. A blast of petrol that dissipates with air. It still seems young with plenty of life left.

a huge hit of tangerine and other citrus, even a hint of cherry, some petrol, lots of finesse, super wine.

Typical Dönnhoff Spätlese: clean, bright and flawless. But not very exciting either...
Strikes me as a young wine, maybe even slightly closed.
