Terry Theise Estate Selections

• By Terry Theise
  2012 German Catalog, 6/1/2012 (link)

  (von Othegraven Kanzem Altenberg Riesling Kabinett Erste Lage) ($34.00) More exotic than the Bockstein; more solid too, it stands up straighter (whereas the Bockstein just dances); maple-cured ham aromas, but with air this swells and broadens, and is just a stone’s flick from perfection; a glorious counterpoint of salts, minerals, fruits, dramatically saltier and more explicitly dialectical than Bockstein – longer also. Just perhaps not quite as adorable. **

  (Weingut von Othegraven Riesling Kabinett Kanzemer Altenberg Erste Lage) After a pleasant, light, closed nose and a palate hinting at fruit salad, the finish is lingering and complex. Still somewhat wound up, but juicy, long, and balanced. The Saar: Forging Its Own Path
