Yes, Donnhoff is Worth the Premium

2005 Donnhoff Schlossbockelheimer Felsenberg
Spatlese, Riesling, Nahe
$35.50
Shane’s Notes

I’m always hoping that I won’t like Donnhoffs because they are quite expensive compared to other German Rieslings. $35.50 for a high quality Pinot or Bordeaux would be a bargain, but there are many great German Rieslings on the market south of $30. However, this Donnhoff does stand out from the crowd. It is simply magnificent. The rich palate is slightly honeyed and overflowing with flavors of papaya, orange and lemon curd. The finish is minerally, slightly metallic and long. The structure is seamless.
