David Schildknecht:
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.
