The 2002 Riesling Auslese Oberhauser Brucke screams Beerenauslese from its nose to its finish. Red fruits, smoky botrytis, and spices are found in its explosive aromatics. Syrupy, weighty, authoritative, and revealing remarkable richness, it is plush as well as impeccably balanced. Projected maturity: 2010-2030+. For the second year in a row, Helmut Donnhoff has left me shaking my head in wonder. Having tasted the greatest wines in the world, year in and year out, as a wine merchant and as a critic, did not prepare me for the awe-inspiring experience of tasting through Donnhoff’s 2001s and 2002s. They are magical, emotional, breath-taking. My words cannot do them justice. Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300
