05 BA, the day after

2005 Wegeler, Bernkasteler Doctor, Riesling Beerenauslese;
As the Doctor is, or at least was one of the best Einzelage of the Mosel, I think it's worth every second, as one tries these rarities out. Too often it fails. Both of the Thanisch estates is doing a horrible job to show the possibilities of this vineyard, and Wegeler is by far the best proprietor, even if they could sharpen things up a bit too. After beeing open 24 hours, this demi bottle is even better today than yesterday, pale golden, some crystals, botrytis, ripe apples, pears, apricots, honey, pure pineapple, almonds, strawberries, so intence, youthfull and complex. The acidity and sweetness balance is absolute perfection, neither is able to stick above each other, its like watching Jackie Chan dooing kung fu, you just marvel at how it's possible, and the aftertaste just does not stop. And still, it's like if the wine, the single drop of nectar whispers into your ear, "-We could have done even better, there is even more potential here......let me just tell you......" 99
