Tasting Notes

(Wwe Dr. H. Thanisch - Erben Thanisch Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Spätlese Auction) AP: 07 09. This requires quite some airing (up to a day!) to shed the notes of reduction and sulfur at this stage of its development. It opens up with precise and complex flavors of smoke, white peach, barley, pineapple and laurel. This is a wine of balance and freshness. It is lively and energetic on the palate, with good extraction, yet retains the lightness of a Spätlese in the finish. This is a great Doctor Spätlese in the making but, as so often with Doctor wines from this Estate, one that will require patience to show its full potential. 2016-2033
