DÖNNHOFF, NIEDERHÄUSER HERMANNSHÖHLE, GG, NAHE, 2007

After having the Felseneck from Schäfer – F Hermannshöhle seems a little clumsy (maybe only my impression on the night). There is a tropical tones in the nose combined with a reserve minerality – when I open the wine two days before the tasting an double decanted the wine it had really the most appealing nose – simply mind blowing (making me want to drink wine). The wine is extremely complex starting out having juicy citrus fruit and litche tones in the beginning of the tasting developing non-linear in a mineral blast in the long finish. Really anu impressive wine – my only critic if any is that I do not feel that Dönnhoff got all out of the vintage. I mean clearly and impressive wine – but really not a wine that touch my souls like Kellers wine this year.
18.5/20
