Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Pacolito on 11/6/2018 & rated 90 points: Vergeleken met 2017 Peter Lauer fass 17 bij oesters en zwaardvis. Deze viel wat weg (met name door de limoen) bij de oesters en was ook duidelijk de mindere bij de vis. Maar verder een prima wijn, zeker voor de prijs. (339 views)
 Tasted by Johan S. on 3/3/2018 & rated 92 points: Bright straw yellow wine with a sense of apple and peach. Very intense in the mouth with lots of minerals and wine acids, and some terroir. Finish is complex and long with nice acids, terroir and ripe apple.
The wine looks straw colored. The legs are fast. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like mineral, apple and peach. It tastes like apple and mineral. The body is full. The wine has bright texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has high acidity. (381 views)

#2014 Vintage Notes:
2014 Vintage Report by Terry Theise
2014 Vintage Report by Wine Spectator
"My gut still tells me the Saar (and to some extent) the Ruwer are better overall in 2014 than the more storied areas of the Mosel proper, but those that spent the requisite time living in their middle-Mosel vineyards made some of the most electric and "feathery" Riesling in a long time (maybe the finest in 20 years - yes, it's true!)" - Jon Rimmerman (Of course only a very short historical memory would call the Saar and Ruwer less 'storied' than the middle Mosel - jht)

Rheingau

VDP Rheingau (Official site) | The Rheingau (Wines of Germany) | Wikipedia about The Rheingau
On weinlagen.info

The small but fine wine-growing area Rheingau offers one for the culture of the vine ideal microclimate and best soil conditions. The Rhine runs uninterruptedly almost one thousand kilometres from Basel up to its muzzle into the North Sea, in a northerly direction. With a short exception - the Rheingau. The Rheingau mountains force the river to a change in direction here. The vineyards falling in this region to the south stretch really to the sun. The king of the white wines, the Riesling, finds ideal local conditions for the unfolding of his fine fruity and elegant type of vine character on the multilayered weathering grounds with loess, loam and sand additions.
