1999 Eitelsbacher Karthauserhofberg Auslese 25 (Auction)

Here honey, citrus and green herbs harmonize in the nose, giving an almost sauvignon vendange tardive impression. That impression continues on the palate, where cassis and nut oils prominently figure. This very polished wine boasts impressive density and richness for a non-gold capsule Auslese, without losing any sense of focus or brightness and without coming off too sweet either. Potential 2 stars.
