2009 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Nahe (5/27/2016)
Complexity, complexity, complexity. This is the hallmark of Brücke. Tropical fruit, herbal accents, pastry cream and vibrant finishing acidity make up this wild ride of Riesling. It is surprisingly electric for a 2009, the finish tingles from the acidity. There is still a long way to go until even early maturity, and overall this is a bright Auslese in style rather than a traditional Spätlese. Drink now for crazy fun, or hold forever.
