Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2020 Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Auslese*** weisse Kapsel Versteigerung, Markus Molitor

The to-be-auctioned dry 2020 Riesling Bernkasteler Doctor Auslese *** (White Capsule) offers an amazingly intense and concentrated yet also pure and iodine bouquet of crushed stones intermingled with perfectly ripe yellow fruit aromas such as mirabelles, nectarines and peaches. There are some oaky nuances on the rich, intense and elegant palate that are lifted by the fine, crystalline acidity and the enormous salinity of the Doctor that is utterly mineral and expressive. The 2020 is a big, dramatic, still untamed but precise, pure, highly finessed and elegant Riesling Auslese that is again one of the stellar dry Rieslings on planet wine and unrivaled, at least in Europe. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine from AP 2 22 in July 2022. - Stephan Reinhardt, Aug. 2022
