The nose reveals, lighter more subtle petrol characteristics, ripe golden apple, ripe fleshy pineapple , apricots, marmalade, lemon syrup, grapefruit with pith, honey, beeswax, a little lime candy, white spice, dry stones, yellow lilies and spring flowers.
The body is thick, rich, waxy and a touch syrupy. Dry, pineapple & apricots, golden apple, peach, lemon syrup, lime candy, some green apple, grapefruit with pith, marmalade, orange rind, fruit blossoms, honey, beeswax, soft delicate minerality, very light petrol notes, slate, white spice with yellow lilies and spring flowers. Acidity is round and magnificent. The 09 is in a good place with plenty of life ahead. The rich, lush, well balanced finish is persistent for minutes.
Excellent with spicy Asian food.
Photos of, the view across the river from their Weingut and their Bernkasteler Doctor Vineyard, the blue slate this wine grows in, Sofia Thanisch finishing up with a group before our one on one tasting and the view of Bernkasteler Doctor Vineyard from the other side looking down at the river. — 6 years ago
Deep gold. Big nose of red apple and white peach. Mouth-filling body and medium plus acidity. Rich palate of red apples, peach, hint of slate. Very rich for a Kabinett; felt more typical of the Mosel Spätlesen I get. Still very good value. Sausage/Schnitzel dishes and fresh fruit salad are excellent matches. — 8 years ago
Reductive, yeasty nose opens to a generous mouthful of ripe peach, pineapple, gooseberry, white flowers, minerals. Supple texture, fine acid structure, and a long, just dry enough intricate finish. Gorgeous now and has 10+ years more potential. — 4 years ago
Crazy body and structure for 43 yr old white wine...but this is 76 and God it feels like it wants to live forever. The type of floral off-sweetness that only the best producers can achieve...and almost oily envelope that still glistens on the rim! Simply magnificent! — 6 years ago

Classic tennis balls/rubber notes on the nose. Lush, complex. On the sweeter side — 6 years ago
Lime, grapefruit, saline, white rock, and a mild petrol finish - like drinking wine through a garden hose, in a good way. — 7 years ago
