Dr. H. Thanisch Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Kabinett 2014
Mosel, GermanyWith a sheen of petrol and a surge of honey, this Mosel riesling opens with a potency that carries through to the finish. Light flinty smoke, rich pear, light white florals and spiced quince paste are tempered with a thin frame of bitter herbs. From a steep southwest facing slope of medium deep, stony, loamy weathered schist, this absorbs the sunshine and reflects it back in powerful wines like this one. This Kabinett balances out 91 g/l RS with 8 g/l acidity in a tidy 8 percent alcohol bottle. Delish now, and over the next decade.Tasted: 04 August 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $27.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
