The 2015 Riesling Bernkasteler Lay Auslese *** (White Capsule) opens super fine and precise as well as rich and concentrated on the nose, with flinty fruit and some highly noble sur lie aromas. On the palate, this is a rich, intense, juicy, powerful and succulent Riesling with a very good structure and aging potential, but the extract sweetness is almost too high to appreciate this wine at this early stage. However, the juiciness and structure are so stable and the finish so long and complex that this wine will surely shine in 20 years. There is really no need to drink it earlier. - Stephan Reinhardt
