Tasting Notes

(Wwe Dr. H. Thanisch - Erben Thanisch Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Spätlese Auction) AP: 09 12. This shines immediately through its captivating nose of pear, grapefruit and under-ripe pineapple immersed into a sea of smoke, anise and herbs. The feel on the palate is surprisingly firm and structured, and shows the presence of a solid Auslese. This feel of power carries over to the finish, where a touch of subtler notes of minerals and further herbs buffer off the “baby fat” so often found in young Doctor wines. This will happily repay a little bit of bottle aging in order to gain in presence and precision. 2021-2041
