Production Details The 2017 long-gold-capsule bottling, identified in the cited review as AP 18 18, came from the same pickings as the Gold Capsule wine and underwent further sorting at the winery. Bernkasteler Lay is planted on a 50% grade; this source value is retained without conversion to slope degrees.
Tasting Notes Wine Advocate, tasted March 2019: mango, ripe peach, mirabelle and honey; rich, refined and lush, with a salty-piquant, crystalline and long finish. Vinous, January 2020: candied mint, grapefruit, cassis, white raisin, lime and an oily, extract-rich palate with a sappy finish. Mosel Fine Wines, October 2018: mango, ripe pineapple, acacia honey, caraway, gingerbread, star anise, pear purée, almond paste and candied exotic fruit, with a generous, slightly oily palate.
