2010 Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Auslese

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Representing the pooling of numerous selective pickings Thanisch’s 2010 Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Auslese is characterized by honeydew melon liqueur, quince jelly, and fresh lime wreathed in musky narcissus- and peony-like floral perfume. Luscious and glycerin rich, buoyant and refreshing, its notes of fresh ginger and crushed stone add to a long finishing impression of exceptional invigoration and energy for any Auslese, much less one from this site generally known for promoting wine both opulent and slow-to-evolve. This alluring beauty ought to be worth following for at least three decades and might well, assuming it gains further complexity, turn into one of the highlights of its vintage (a status already all but assured its T.B.A. counterpart). - David Schildknecht, Dez. 2011

Mosel Fine Wines: The 2010er Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Auslese offers a beautifully aromatic, honeyed, and fruit-driven nose of pineapple, orange peel, quince, mango, and a hint of apricot, as well as fine scents of laurel and thyme. The wine is still on the sweet, creamy, and comparatively smooth side on the palate, and even proves slightly forceful and opulent in the long and well-delineated finish, although there is a superb zesty acidity in the background. Despite being already aromatically open and enjoyable, this beautiful dessert wine will even become more enjoyable over the coming years, as it further integrates its sweetness and let its nuances and finesse comes through. 2025-2050. - Apr. 2020
