  exotic, Mango, sweet pineapple, dense, peppery, slate minerality, aromatic and powerful nose, palate follows this impression, rich and concentrated, typical for the warm vintage, quite heavy due to high alcohol and rather low acidity, powerful Saar Riesling with a long finish

  Golden color. Gorgeous nose that hints at ripe peach and nectarine with a touch of baking spice. The palate shows the richness of the nose yet is bracingly dry. Not a ding just a bit of a shock. I want a bit more on the finish. I’ve had much better from Lauer - maybe just needs time. There is a lot of dry extract. (90?)

  In der Nase zunächst sehr viel reifer Pfirsich und fast etwas kitschig, der Vergleich mit Trolli-Ringen drängte sich auf. Das gibt sich aber mit Luft und der Wein wir’s deutlich ernsthafter mit sehr viel Hefegebäck, etwas Melisse und mit schiefertypischer Würze.
  
  Am Gaumen mit reichlich Griff und Biss, das hat viel Phenolik und macht deutlich den Eindruck von mindestens etwas Standzeit. Es gibt etwas Limette und mit der Zeit wirkt es tatsächlich etwas antrocknend. Insgesamt doch eher hell, sehr spannende Mineralik.
  
  Gute Länge, sehr guter Extrakt, spürbar pfeffrig.

  I could smell this all day. I get peach and lime. The palate reminds me of lemonade, with butterscotch and minerality on the finish. A tad simple but very tasty. I have read that the 2018 vintage should be consumed young, but I’m inclined to give this a little more time. It kept improving with air.
