2001 Nackenheimer Rothenberg Auslese Goldkapsel

Rich, dense, thick, and deep, the broad 2001 Riesling Auslese Nackenheimer Rothenberg (Gold Capsule) is a big, concentrated, velvety-textured wine. It reveals oodles of exotic fruits, gun flint, and botrytis on the nose. This offering has the depth generally found in Beerenausleses (or even TBAs). This offering's flavor profile is jam-packed with candied pear, earth, flint, mango, eucalyptus, and honey. Projected maturity: 2008-2020+.
