The 2019er Berncasteler Doctor Riesling Kabinett was harvested at approx. 88° Oechsle and was fermented down to fully fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. It proves comparatively rich on the nose as scents of yellow peach, apricot, and almond cream emerge from the glass. With airing, it reveals a fresher side driven by candied grapefruit, minty herbs, and smoky elements The wine develops great presence with the creaminess of a Spätlese on the currently still rather sweet palate yet proves already beautifully focused and animating in the long and intense finish. This fruitystyled bottling of Doctor will need, as Doctor wines so often do, some patience for it to reveal its underlying finesse and elegance. Drink 2027-2039

Light to mid-yellow colour. The bouquet is charmingly fragrant—honey and tropical flowers, while the palate is sweet and fruity and deliciously vibrant, full of fruit and flavour and energy. The acidity is bright and energising, and in beautiful harmony. Long finish. A gorgeous, irresistible wine. I could drink a bucket of it! Drink 2021–2031

One Bernkasteler Kabinett is not like another, and it’s not only the different spelling of Berncastel that sets the Doctor apart from the Badstube. Of course there is fruit, maybe even a bit more exotic with grapefruit and orange, but the true difference is a far more herbal expression on the nose, refined by a deft cool mineral nuance. Despite its modest alcohol content the texture is generous, the pithy piquancy of the citrus fruit taking the gustatory attention away from the moderate residual sugar, but the true coup de coeur is delivered by a dry flinty minerality on the finish. Sip and think. Drink: 2022-2030.
