Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett Riesling
@Byron C Mayes nailed it with his review. I found it a bit on the sweet and heavy side for a kabinett. I like em crisp and clean. Very good.

Aug 18th, 2020Star bright pale straw in color. Abundant nose of yellow apples, white peaches, and honeysuckle. Medium light bodied palate yields those same fruits and flowers bolstered by bracing acidity with a hint of burgeoning dark petroleum on the finish. “Classic” is the word that immediately come to mind with anything from Erben-Thanisch, and this is no exception. Just enough fruit, just enough acidity (well, maybe a wee bit more), and just enough body make this an excellent sipper or dinner wine with just about anything (Riesling is the universal white, after all). Mosel from entry to finish, it satisfies now and will reward with a bit of time. Drink now through 2027.
