Berncasteler Doctor Kabinett Riesling 2019

9.2

From the small Grosse Lage vineyard of Berncasteler Doctor, this Kabinnet tips the sweetness scale at medium dry for my taste, yet still manages to be delicate. Enticing nose of orchard and tropical fruits, honeysuckles, with touches of flinty mineral note. Very long finish. I think it needs at least another 4-5 years to show properly.
Interesting notes about the winery: it’s named after the widow of Dr. Thanisch (Wwe.). The original winery was divided into 2 equal properties in the 1990s: Wwe. H.Thanisch – Erben Thanisch and Wwe. H.Thanisch – Erben Müller-Burggraef. — 5 months ago

Great bottling in almost any vintage. Their Weingut is right on the river surrounded by terraced vineyards. Tasted in the afternoon w/ Sofia Thanisch in 2015 after the Auction at their Weingut. Amazing settling. Cheers Ming. 🥂

@David T i saw some beautiful pictures of the vineyard and the surrounding town. Mosel is definitely on my list to visit. Hope all is well!

This has chilled out and has relaxed. No dosage, but it has evolved to a sweeter place. Really presentable now. Just needed 20 years to come around 😀 — 5 months ago

2005 or 2009? I'm sitting on some six packs of '09 👍

@Severn Goodwin, 2005. Leave the 09’s. They’ll rip your face off at this point…

Gran Reserva de la Familia Brut Nature Cava Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada 2017

Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Made from Macabeu, Xarel·lo and Parellada grapes, bright pale gold color with a frothy creamy mousse, small rapid bubble flow with a steady stream. Aromas and flavors of apple and citrus with toasty notes, integrated, nice mouthfeel, elegant long finish. Great value as an exceptional alternative to French Champagne. — 17 days ago
