Lot #5384. Donnhoff Oberhauser Brucke Eiswein Goldkapsel #18 2002

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Region: Germany, Nahe. Grosse Lage.
Score: 100 WA.
"The 2002 Riesling Eiswein Oberhauser Brucke is a grand slam home run for Donnhoff. It is so intense, so powerful, and so complex as to instill fear in the taster. Its apricot and peach cobbler aromas lead to a jellied core of cassis, raspberries, syrupy slate, and oodles of spices. It is simply amazing that a wine of this richness, ripeness, and depth can retain perfect definition, grip, and refinement. What is truly terrifying, however, is that Donnhoff produced a three-star Eiswein from the same vineyard in 2002, one he presumably considers better than this sublime nectar. Part of me is grateful that I was unable to taste it, however, as I have only 100 points with which to work. Bravo!" Wine Advocate, Feb 2004
Provenance: The Pigeonneau Cellar
