2009 Eitelsbacher Karthauserhofberg TBA 51 Auction

Harvested at just under 170 Oechsle, this offers truly magnificent scents of juicy yellow fruits (driven by peach and pineapple) and blended into some more almond-driven bakery products. The underlying aromatic complexity is just mind-blowing. The high level of residual sugar makes the wine seem one-dimensional at this stage but make no mistake, this will turn into a legendary TBA in a few decades time. This stunner is one for the furthest part of the cellar.
