2018 Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Spätlese

Wine Spectator: A well-delineated, floral style, with jasmine and bergamot aromas and notes of lychee and persimmon. Elegant and silky, yet packed with flavor, featuring vivid acidity flowing through and linking the elements. Shows great length and harmony. Best from 2022 through 2036. - Feb. 2020

Mosel Fine Wines: The 2018er Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Spätlese AP 05 was harvested at just above 90° Oechsle and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (80 g/l). It offers an attractive nose of almond cream, yellow peach, pear, white flowers, and some candied fruits. The wine is superbly juicy on the otherwise delicately creamy and smooth palate. The finish offers more grip and intensity, as well as some spices and zest. This sweet Auslese-styled wine only needs time, actually a lot of time, to integrate all its elements, but the underlying complexity is remarkable. 2033-2068 - Okt. 2019
