Helmut Donnhoff was never tempted to harvest early this year since taste told him that the flavors were not yet there. He rigorously dropped bunches, but this simply compensated, he opined, for the overly generous crop set by nature. Despite what is frequently asserted about overwhelmingly hot, ripe vintages, Donnhoff observed enormous differences in flavor from parcel to parcel, leading him to bottle, for instance, two different Hermannshohle Spatlesen. While he insisted that it was difficult to pick for Auslese this year, those results Donnhoff did achieve-from a combination of healthy gold-green fruit and shriveled botrytis berries-are extraordinary. "Hermannshohle is a race car," observes Donnhoff, "whereas Brucke lends itself to waiting and to a spread-out harvest. " (Terry Theise) Also recommended: 2003 Riesling Trocken, 2003 Oberhauser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett Trocken, 2003 Riesling, 2003 Norheimer Kirschheck Riesling Spatlese.
