Schloss Lieser Riesling Kabinett Bernkasteler Doctor #13 2018

94 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 13 19. The 2018er Bernkasteler Doctor Riesling Kabinett was harvested at approx. 92° Oechsle and was fermented down to fully fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. It offers a stunning nose of hay, pear, pineapple zest, whipped cream and some dried herbs so typical of the vineyard. The wine develops the beautifully creamy side of a Spätlese paired with a nice kick of acidity on the palate. The finish is superbly playful and deep. As for all Doctor wines, this gorgeous wine will need a lot of time to fully develop its flavors. But the raw materials are simply amazing! 2033-2058. (Jun 2019)"

93+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The Doctor Kabinett from Thomas Haag in 2018 had also already been bottled, but was still showing beautifully. This is an extremely young bottle of Kabinett from the Doctor, which can often be a bit broad-shouldered in its youth. The wine is elegant and svelte on both the nose and palate, with the bouquet delivering scents of pear, salty minerality, apple, spring flowers, bee pollen and a gentle topnote of wild yeasts. On the palate the wine is very transparent, medium-full and already quite filigreed, with lovely purity and grip, precise focus and excellent cut on the long and impressively racy finish. This is really good juice. 2024-2060. (Mar/Apr 2019)"
