2018 Peter Lauer Kern Riesling Faß 9

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Saturday, September 10, 2022 - Typical young Lauer reduction on day 1. After 18 hours in the bottle, much of the reduction has blown off, the fruit has ripened, and the subtle minerality and floral notes have emerged. I think this is maybe just one or two years away from the beginning of its "peak" drinking period in terms of pure fruit and terroir expression. It's great to drink whenever, though.

What I love about Stirn and Kern is how perfectly balanced the sugar and acid are throughout their life. With typical Pradikat wines, I find myself looking for the perfect age to hit the balance: with these I just open them and remark how perfectly Florian nails it vintage after vintage.
