2003 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Spätlese - Germany, Nahe (5/6/2017)
Served with a mildly spiced Indian dal, this showed very well and also very young. Focused on cherry and ripe peach fruit, there was also a fine vein of minerality, and surprisingly brisk back-end acidity. It's certainly a big spatlese, but the balance is good, and there is plenty of refreshment value. I had grabbed the bottle expecting a bit of a monster, but it still showed the typical Brucke style, under the guiding hand of Donnhoff.
