1996 Beringer Private Reserve, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon;
Dark ruby, ruby rim. Raspberries, blackberries, cherries, plums, a bit jammy and warm fruit, earth, chocolate and bell pepper. Medium body, ok acidity, soft very ripe tannins, a bit one dimentional on the palate compared to nose, very well made as always, but I cannot get excited somehow. 84
1994 Dr.Thanisch Müller Burggraef, Graacher Himmelreich, Riesling Auslese;
Lemon yellow, lime, minerals, apples and petroleum. Good acidity, medium fruit intencity, ok length. Good, but not great. 80
1999 Dr.Thanisch Müller Burggraef, Berncasteler Doctor, Riesling Auslese Golkapsel;
Lemon yellow, apples, lemonish, melon, petroleum, raspberries, hints of botrytis and minerals. Acidity makes it, just. Getting towards too sweet for it, good length. 84
Why can't they (any of the owners) make some truly astonishing Bernkastel Doctor?
