2012 Dorsheimer Pittermännchen Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel Versteigerung

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The Dorsheimer Pittermännchen Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule was harvested at 7 am on a very cold early November morning when the grapes were slightly frozen which brings near icewine clarity and concentration to the musts.This wine shows delicious, concentrated pineapple aromas intermixed with the slate aromas of the Pittermännchen plus some nutty almond flavors. The richness of the nose is also present on the palate where opulent, ripe and overripe tropical fruit flavors are displayed. The wine is very intense, almost extravagant in its fruitiness but lacks the precision and piquancy of the Goldloch, and there was black bread flavors in the aftertaste. - Stephan Reinhardt, Jan. 2015
