  I'm a sucker for Riesling but this wasn't quite what I expected. Richer and rounder than I was looking for. I like my Lauer acidic and angular. This was like a beginner's Riesling - nice but no ooompf...

  Have I ever said how much I enjoy the wines from 2019? Or how much I love Feinherb???This wine was no exception, absolutely delicious.
  This is a great example of a world class producer making fantastic wine, up and down his entire range. This wine was all about ying and yang. It had both a higher level of extract and more richness than other vintages, but it also still felt light and fresh on the palate. There were also notes of bright candied lime while at the same time exotic notes of ripe spiced apples. The wine was also herbaceously floral while showing notes of iodine and crushed seashells.
  There were so many elements of interplay and counterpoint in a wine that ultimately left you with a feeling that it was really just about the enjoyment of something delicious and fun. A wine that is both easy and nuanced is a wonderful thing.

  This was a gulpable wine and was flat out delicious. It was fresh, yet tactile. Mouthwatering notes of lightly spiced apples, navel oranges and lime marmalade draw you in while notes of chalky minerality and a delightful floral lift added nuance and all the more appeal.
  This may not have the complexity or quite the verve as some of the wines made by Florian, but boy oh boy is it tasty. I’m so happy I have wines like this in my cellar.

  If you never wanted to spend more than $20 or so on a bottle of white, you could stock your cellar with cases of this and Clos de Briords and drink quite well from now until forever.
