Hermann Dönnhoff, Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl, Riesling Spätlese, 2006

If you ever wanted to know what a toad puddle (=Krötenpfuhl) tastes like...

Starting with a taste that was a little bitter, this greatly named wine soon developed into something really yummy. Delicate colour; a somewhat delicate nose that combines mineral with a little bit of lemon and apple. Certainly not an immediate in-your-face fruit explosion, but still with the promise of several layers of taste.

In the mouth, a yummy mixture of mineral, green fruit, apple, stone fruit, lemon and gooseberry. The right kick of acid balanced by yummy sweetness and hints of a chilly sensation on your gum. Very strong finish that in itself seemed to open up several layers of taste.

I think Hermann nailed this one.
