Oestricher Doosberg, Alte Reben, Trocken, 2017

justerini & brooks tasting note

Fermented and aged in dopplestuck and coming from loess and loam soils shot through with veins of quartz, this is full of orchard and stone fruits with touches of indian spice and canteloup melon. A calm, supple and satisfying dry Riesling of great character and sweeping elegance.

critic reviews

91/100David Schildknecht,Vinous

Pip-inflicted Sekel pear and apple are mingled with smoky black tea and wreathed in bittersweet floral perfume, impressions that carry-over onto a silken palate where a formidable sense of stuffing is evoked. Sheer juicy generosity keeps the starch-like suggestion of stone suffusion in the long-lasting finish from turning at all austere. Like its ostensibly lesser “Muschelkalk” sibling – also issuing primarily from the Doosberg – this bottling exhibits exemplary transparency to mineral and herbal nuances. And it will probably eventually overtake that “Muschelkalk” in length and complexity.
