The palate is lithe and energetic, with a fullness from the fruit but a pretty powerful acidic streak as well. It presents completely dry now. Compelling wine which improved with air.

January 14, 2019 - A slightly friendler and more generous rendition compared to the trocken version from this plot, also called '1896' but in a standard white label instead of this stylish black one. This is technically a feinherb (though it doesn't say so anywhere on the label), but it's on the mostly-dry end of feinherb that dials in that same Goldilocks zone as many of the Peter Lauer wines - to which it tastes somewhat similar as well. It features pale citrus fruit ranging from grapefruit to yuzu with a sparkling, shimmering freshness, but it's rich enough in body (perhaps helped along by that smidge of sweetness) that it feels weighty and ample on the palate. Not so weighty as to compromise its drinkability, though - this is a pretty hard one to put down.
