2015 Nackenheimer Rothenberg Auslese Goldkapsel 19

Representing a stricter botrytis selection contemporaneous with that undertaken for the corresponding “regular” Auslese, this delivers an impressively penetrating nose of sassafras, pineapple, candied orange peel, almond extract and black tea. A correspondingly colorful and diverse set of flavors is featured on a glossy, glycerol-rich palate that retains admirable citric juiciness and fresh pineapple tang, leading to a lusciously lingering finish whose richness is reinforced by hints of marzipan, and that manages not only to soothe but simultaneously to innervate and refresh.
