2016 Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Nahe (5/27/2019)
Bracing, pure and showing crystalline structure, this is an elegant and electrifying version of Hermannshohle. White peach and salty lime are layered atop a chilling mineral base that keeps the wine totally focused from first sip to last. The bright citrus element carries through to the finish, bringing refreshment, and compelling another sip. Impressive.

Thanks for the note, I grabbed a case of this and tucked it away in the cellar, what do you think its preferred drinking window will be?

Probably now through 2040, depending on how mature you like your wines.

How sweet is it?

Properly Spatlese sweet. The acids balance very well.
