  August 31, 2018 - What a gorgeous Riesling from Lauer with ages ahead of it. So pure aromatically: limestone, chalk, sea salt, crushed shells, laced with lime, quince, lemon, smashed rocks and ginger. Pure, clean and vibrant on the palate, some sweetness hits on the front end but then razor-like, pristine acidity sweeps in and cleans it all up. Rich fruit (pineapple, quince, white peach, drizzled with lime), but a host of ridiculously complex elements of sea salt, rocky mountain stream, oyster shells, along with honey and ginger. So gorgeous, so many years ahead.

  April 15, 2018 - Der 2013er hat sich schön gemacht. Kommt auf angenehhme weise viel trockener rüber als er ist, hat guten Schmelz und noch einige Jahre vor sich, in denen er sicher noch zulegt. Eingelegte Aprikosen und Pfirsich, ein hauch grüner Apfel unnd etwas Wiesenkräuter. Sehr schön zu rohem Thunfisch mit Basilikum-Sorbet.
