2008 Oberhauser Brucke Spatlese

Fresh red raspberry, green tea, and thyme in the rather restrained nose of Donnhoff's 2008 Oberhauser Brucke Riesling Spatlese lead into a creamily-textured yet at the same time both palpably dense and vivaciously citric and tart berry palate, setting up a dynamic interplay with herbal, bitter-sweet citrus oil, and somehow crystalline as well as stony and alkaline mineral skeins. You could easily get lost in this wine. But I would advise returning to it repeatedly over the next 20 or more years. Feb 2010, www.robertparker.com
