Oberhauser Brucke Auslese Goldkap, Weingut Dönnhoff 2009

Overripe pear and peach are joined by suggestions of white truffle and a Jurancon-like suggestion of foie gras pate on the nose of Donnhoff's 2009 Oberhauser Brucke Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule. Raspberry parfait, lime sorbet, and white peach nectar convey richness with refreshment on a near-weightless palate, with salt, stone, and truffle adding intrigue to a finish that displays a watercolor-like combination of transparency and indelibility. Anticipate at least 25 years of fascination from this beauty.

Ethereal but intoxicating mix of fruit and a hint of flowers, but also creamy. Smells cool. Then a perfect combination of sweet ripeness and tangy energetic acidity. Beautifully balanced and very very long. GV (JH) 7.5%. Drink 2012-2030
