Scheurebe 2003, Bruder Dr. Becker, Dienheimer Kabinett (bought from Oddbins 4-5 years ago)
Whilst researching this wine, on the Dr Becker website, I found this very pleasing photo. Being unable to decipher the German, I’m assuming this happy family make the above Sheurebe (Riesling x Silvaner cross). Unfortunately, Tillman (17) and Lorenz (15), don’t seem to have inherited the cheeky-madonna-esque-front-teeth-gap from their cheerier parents. A plea to dentists: Leave cheeky gaps alone!
This poor bottle had been festering away in the back office for 4-5 years. It needed a good home and I was happy to provide it. Man alive this was a stunner: The typical, yet strange blackcurrant aroma was there (this wine is white). Lashings of plump, honeyed stone fruit aromas, offset by petrol fumes and racy grapefruit acidity. 9 outta 10 and could have aged another 4 years. They have every right to look so pleased with themselves!
