2010 Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Kabinett Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2010 Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Kabinett, Wwe. Dr. H. Thanisch

The Thanisch 2010 Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Kabinett leads with site-typical, narcissus-like muskiness and nuttiness along with an intriguingly, not unpleasantly milky-yeasty overlay. Hints of citrus peel take on greater, piquant as well as sweet-sour prominence on the palate, which is delicate but firm. Somewhat detached citricity as well as the bitterness of zest and of apple pip and skin lead to a relatively severe finish, especially by the standards of wine from this site. But by the same token I have seldom tasted a young Doctor that seemed possessed of such sheer energy to burn and about the sheer impressive persistence of finish here there can be no doubt. I’d want to revisit this intriguing wine along the way but imagine that it will evolve positively for 10-12 years. - David Schildknecht, Dez. 2011
