TN: good not great Donnhoff

I don't know that recipe, but I wouldn't be surprised to know that the recipe was his. He was very well known as an excellent cook, primarily cooking Chinese food.

"DaleW" skrev i melding news: snipped-for-privacy@w6g2000yqw.googlegroups.com... good time for my lone remainingbottle of 2003 Donnhoff Oberhauser Leistenberg Kabinett. This had not been my favorite at release;it's actually the last '03 Kab I own. OK, let's see. Fairly sweet, rather round, this is more like a heavy softer Spatlese than a Kab. Good flavor profile- sweet peaches, a little lime, some herby notes (almost rosemary). But this just doesn't have the acidity to be great. Not flabby, but sodt. ...

The Wein-plus rated it excellent in 2004: Bouquet of minerals, sweet herbs, citrus fruits and peaches. Very clear and juicy, fine acidity, mineral backbone, somewhat reticent on the palate, very harmonious with fine end taste. Keep 2 years and drink by the caseload... Drink until 2009.

I'd tend to agree with you on the low acidity in general for 2003 wines, however.
