Lot #960. Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Riesling Spätlese #10 2005

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 95 JG.
" The 2005 Hermannshöhle Spätlese is another legendary bottle in the making. The bouquet is deep, pure and very soil-driven, soaring from the glass in a blend of sweet grapefruit, lychee, stunning slate minerality and just a touch of spice. On the palate the wine is medium-full, deep and rapier-like, with a rock solid core of fruit, a firm girdle of acidity, laser-like focus, and a profound long finish. This is just a bit reserved out of the blocks, but will prove to be a brilliant addition to the cellar. I expect after an initial open window of drinkability, this will close for a few years before reemerging in all its glory." John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Jul/Aug 2006, Issue #4
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $110
