Riesling Hollenpfad im Muhlenberg Grosses Gewachs Donnhoff 2018 (750ML)

97 Points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: "You couldn't pack more stone fruit into a nose without overstretching propriety. Dried peaches, loquat, nectarines and apricots are all out on show. Behind that, though, are more subtle notes of flint and limestone. The acidity will set your mouth on fire, but it comes with sweeping, comprehensive oiliness to keep this rotund. Medium-to full-bodied but very, very long with lingering lemon pith. Drink or hold." 12/19

93+ Points, John Gilman, View from the Cellar: "The Grosses Gewächs bottling from the filet section of the Höllenpfad im Mühlenberg is also very promising and again, shows the beautifully elegant refinement of all the dry Rieslings from the Dönnhoff family this year. Helmut estimates that this is thirteen percent octane or just under in this vintage. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a very refined and expressive blend of tangerine, blood orange, salty minerality, citrus peel, smoky overtones and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and really packed at the core, with racy acids, great soil signature, laser-like focus and a very long, youthfully complex and very promising finish. (Drink between 2028-2060)" 04/19
