Erben Thanisch "Riesling Classic" Tasting Case

The Berncasteler Doctor Kabinett is a Riesling of crystal clear radiance. Still somewhat reductive, it shows itself in the smoky fragrance already with animating exotic fruit and clear mineral and floral notes. On the palate it is then a polished, cool and sweet fruit with some red-berry nuances and herbaceous aromas. The fine ripe acidity gives the cabinet a great balance. The noble juice shows a lot of race and an enormous powerful depth. Extremely elegant style - has real class!

The fruity Kabinett from the Bernkasteler Badstube shows cool fruit and floral-spicy aromas in the fragrance. On the palate, delicate and elegant tropical fruit with herbal tart notes. The zesty acidity supports the aromatic development and provides excellent transport of flavors and minerality. The gossamer sweet fruit seems finely placed and is the perfect counterpoint to the grippy and very present slaty minerality. Shows animatingly playful on the finish with a spicy-sweet aftertaste. Delicious!

The late vintage from the Doctorberg shows a beautiful slate-spicy, yeasty scent with delicate fruit aromas of peach, sweet apricot and a hint of zirtus. On the palate it is a perfect symbiosis of density and lightness. The sweet juicy fruit appears rather slim and somewhat withdrawn behind the impressive tight acidity. The extremely stony, mineral component creates a perfect arc of tension up to the seemingly endless finish. Perfect late vintage in the old style.

Still a bit youthful and impetuous on the nose, the off-dry Kabinett from the Bernkasteler Badstube nevertheless clearly shows its origin! The wild, yeasty-mineral notes of spontaneous fermentation dissipate with a little aeration in the glass and make way for wonderful exotic fruit aromas, delicate floral notes of lilac and bright flowers. Fruity-fresh on the palate as well, with sweet-tart pressure and subtle native fruit flavors. The elegant mineral salt fits the style perfectly and is the perfect seasoning to the fine sweet fruit. Very animating finish with tart finesse and maximum drinking pleasure!

A Riesling sparkling wine par excelence. Traditional bottle fermentation, fine long-lasting perlage and simply a nice fruity fresh feeling in the mouth.

The legendary Berncasteler Doctor is one of the real Grand Crus and a true Aristrokat among German vineyards. The fruity Kabinett from the Doctorberg clearly shows origin and terroir already in the nose. The typical smoky notes are floral underpinned and carried by a very delicate fruit aroma. The palate is finely textured with striking mineral-salty spice and cool exotic fruit of golden kiwi and juicy nectarine. Here great complexity is paired with depth and finesse. A terrific Kabinett with legendary aging potential - this is Riesling at its finest!
