Expert Reviews

90 Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2008

($50) Pale golden yellow with green reflections. Subdued aromas of primrose, lemon oil and sage. Pure, polished apricot pit flavor with refined minerality. Delicate and quite long.

'06 DONNHOFF NORHEIMER KIRSCHHECK SPATLESE
01/08/2010
by ROB HANSULT
Light almost Mosel color. Fresh flowery aroma of nectarine key-lime fruit-salad. Palate of white peach anjou pear fruit salad/quince & hint of Nahe Cinnamon spice. Light for Donnhoff, but great balance & some persistence. The glass returns to your lips soon as it hits the table. 91 points *BTW - Don't like having to include star rating, which I don't use, like, or find very useful.

Furthermore, many wine drinkers' early experiences with sweet wines from Germany (think Blue Nun), have not been especially rewarding. We say that it's your loss if you continue to fear the...
