2015 Donnhoff Schlss Felsenberg Turmchen GG

Media Reviews

John Gilman

Helmut Dönnhoff related that there was one parcel of the Felsenberg this year where the grapes were a tad riper than what they wished to use in the GG bottling, and also had just a faint touch of botrytis to the bunches, so he and Cornelius picked this parcel separately and produced this Spätlese. The wine is superb, wafting from the glass in a really vibrant constellation of white cherries, pear, a complex base of minerality, dried flowers, bee pollen and a nice touch of orange zest in the upper register. On the palate the wine is medium-full, bright and complex, with a really strong vein of minerality, a lovely core of fruit, fine, nascent complexity and outstanding length and grip on the focused and very classy finish. I have just begun drinking my 2002 Felsenberg Spätlese and the wine is stunning- if the 2015 ages along those lines, this will be a cellar treasure a dozen years down the road. Drink 2018-2045+. 93+ points
