Tasting Notes
The 2022 Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Kabinett has a cool, reserved, and fresh nose of stone fruits, yellow peach, herbs, and plenty of earthy spices. The wine proves juicy and more fruit-driven on the palate, where some ripe yellow peach and pear make for a smoother side. This broader side is nicely wrapped into herbs and candied grapefruit in the medium-long and well-delineated finish. The wine gains finesse and freshness as it unfolds and clearly needs a couple of years to fully deliver. There is potential here

Scores
93 / 100"Cool and restrained nose with delicate aromas of herbal and old-fashioned apple varieties. Well-structured on the sleek light-bodied palate, in spite of the moderate acidity (in the Mosel context). Long, refreshing finish with white tree fruit and summer berry notes. Drink or hold."

"The 2022 Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett is still slightly reduced and yeasty, but underneath that, chervil- and green apple-scented freshness comes through, fine and bright. The palate is gently sweet and has notions of Turkish apple tea and a little tea tannin, countered by rounded but delicate freshness. The long aftertaste has the merest notion of honey, soon taken over by citrus. While the body is slender, the flavors are already in full flush, with a long echo. (Medium). Drink: 2023-2040."
