Perhaps the best value in Cote Rotie today

and in particular the misconception that wines from hot years don’t age

Donnhoff, Oberhauser Brucke Riesling Auslese other_regions_italy (from purchased fruit in Sentiers(for 375 ml.) Rich golden yellow. Passion fruit, a floral nuance and a bit of licorice on the nose. Pineapple and honey give way to brisk spicy acidity on the palate. A well balanced, vivid auslese that finishes smoky and long, with an almost salty minerality. Joel B. Payne
