Tasting Notes

(Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Auslese GK Auction) AP: 14 17. The 2016er Oberhäuser Brücke Auslese GK was made from very late harvested fruit initially earmarked for Eiswein. It starts off on a stylishly restrained side and only gradually reveals a mind-blowing nose made of ripe and exotic fruits including apricot, yellow peach and quince with a touch of honey blended into most graceful and fresh notes of grapefruit zest, tangerine and lime. The wine offers stunningly juicy presence on the palate, where intense flavors of whipped cream, apricot and a touch of raisin are wrapped into a nice concentrated feel from the high level of dry extracts. The strikingly intense and extraordinarily long finish is all about dried exotic fruits and a most fascinating zesty acidity, which makes for a great Eiswein-like after-taste. This is a magnificent dessert wine in the making. 2023-2046
