2010 Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Spätlese Versteigerung

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Slated for auction, the Thanisch 2010 Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Spatlese A.P. #6 displays greater levity than its non-auction counterpart as well as a more refined and diverse sense of mineral nuance – stony, saline, crystalline – to play against its refreshing lime juiciness and its preserves of quince and white peach. Subtly creamy and garlanded with musky floral perfume, this finishes with an impeccable stand-off of acidity and residual sugar; fascinating length; and the promise of 15-20 years intriguing evolution. - David Schildknecht, Dez. 2011

Mosel Fine Wines: The 2010er Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Spätlese AP 06 was released via the 2011 VDP Mosel Auction. It captures one’s attention with its gorgeously aromatic nose of almond cream, bakery elements, a hint of toffee, Victoria pineapple, honey, and fresh herbs. The wine is still on the sweet side on the palate, yet proves deeply complex, layered, and playful thanks to a superbly well-integrated racy acidity in the long and pure finish. The wine has clearly the presence and structure of an Auslese GK, and is, as such, a stunning effort in the making. We would however wait for this beauty to further integrate its residual sugar over the coming years. 2025-2050. - Apr. 2020
