Berncasteler Doctor Kabinett Riesling 2019

Ming L
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.

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. 🥂

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. — 3 months ago

Mosel Kabinett Riesling 2016

Informal social gathering at my former director's place. Wine of the evening. Superb Kabinett with a bit of age on it, with the RS nicely digested by the acid drive of the wine. Superlative length and acid drive, great petroly notes on the nose. Long zesty finish. Lemonade for adults. Delicious wine! — 4 months ago

Hill of Grace Vineyard Shiraz 2002

This is Stephen Henschke’s favourite vintage of H of G he said. This was the first vintage he bottled under screw cap and all subsequent vintages have been bottled that way. They have also experimented with the Vinolok glass stopper. As Stephen said “I love tradition and it is very important as a 6th generation family owned winery. However when tradition lets you down as it has with cork, there is time to evaluate better closures. “ He went on to say the 2002 has that distinctive Hill of Grace nose which you can’t define but it does have the trademark mint, spice and sage. The palate is profoundly intense and could go on for another 10 years but flirting with perfection right now. — 4 months ago

Why not use the glass closure? I’m a big fan of those. I’ve never had a decayed bottle when sealed with glass. I’ve never tasted this wine due to its cost… sniff
