Bernkasteler Doctor Kabinett Riesling 2021

Sweet but with integrated tartness. Aromatic. Fruity flavor with strong apple/ pineapple/mango hints. Great with spicy food. Has to be one of my favorite Mozel valley Rieslings. — 8 months ago

Nest Egg Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

This was quite a surprise. While not the giant backbone you’d expect from a Cali cab, it had a nice Viscosity on the pallet and a longer finish. The tannins not fully integrated for its age, with a higher acidity level. Drank more like a Bordeaux blend. — 6 years ago

Krupp Brothers

The Doctor Napa Valley Red Blend 2004

2004 vintage. Decanted with very little sed and tasted after 45 mins and 1.5 hours. Initial richness in the frontal palate but the mid-palate decided to nap. Finish glided along without speed bumps. Really nice but not great. 7.19.24. — 8 months ago

Berncasteler Doctor Kabinett Riesling 2019

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.

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. 🥂
