Badstube is a huge vineyard, running north to Graacher
Himmelreich. The Thanisch holdings are all at the
Bernkastel end however. Nervy and tightly packed
when tasted, this has an explosive drive, matched blowfor-blow by its impressive volume of pear fruit, tinned
peach and herbs - wonderfully precise

A beautifully complete nose here, of fine crushed earth minerality, ripe lime, gooseberry and apricot fruit. The palate is powerful from the off, drivingly intense and with an unabashed potency which is really rather exciting. This, as Sofia was quick to point out, is balanced by an intricate delicacy of acidic bone structure and mineral tension. Hits all the right notes, stunning.

The Doctor Auslese radiates an amber-gold shimmer. Wet-stone mineral notes and slate greet you on the nose. The palate is surprisingly delicate and precise for what is, after all, the high must-weight flagship of the estate. A deft but insistent sense of mineral-driven weight pervades the palate, complementing the spiced apricot and crystallised lime fruit, through to the long, focused finish.

On the nose, there is a rather beguiling balance of bright playfulness and brooding sobriety - quite a feat, and very much part of the overall charm. There is abundant fruit here, fresh and upbeat, with hints of spice and dark coffee, complemented by almost citric freshness and an underlying saline seam of minerals. Beautifully balanced, even in its infancy, this will continue to improve. The floral aromatics on the attenuated finish add additional elegance and flair - lovely wine.
