Peter Lauer Kupp Riesling Faß 18 Großes Gewächs

Germany · Mosel Saar Ruwer

Quite the smooth little operator, this shows lovely balance and cadence of flavor, especially next to a Künstler GG that was a bit spunkier and more angular. The Peter Lauer Kupp Faß 18 GG rolls…

Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett

Germany · Mosel Saar Ruwer

Green citrus, yellow and red apple skin, green apple flesh, light petrol, honey, and wet slate. This is a bit of a trickster in that the front end rolls in with what would seem to be a sweeter…

Peter Lauer Riesling Sekt Brut

Germany · Mosel Saar Ruwer

Refreshing and fun, with a nice delineation of flavors that provide a finer-boned frame of chalk and limestone that make for keen focus with the higher riding yellow and green citrus, green apple,…

Peter Lauer Feils Riesling Faß 13 Großes Gewächs

Germany · Mosel Saar Ruwer

Lemon lime, lychee, green and white melon, river rock, margarita, and prickly pear notes present a youthfully linear and direct showing. More intense than the Fass 11, with just enough push to…

Peter Lauer Unterstenberg Riesling N°12

Germany · Mosel Saar Ruwer

Lime juice, lychee, lemon peel, limeade, Sunkist lemon Jelly Belly, and wet limestone flavors are scattered about the palate by heavy spritz and pithy lemon seed notes. Spritely over seamlessness,…

Lime juice, candied lemon drop, Squirt, quince, lemon verbena, dried apricot, honey, ginger, faint petrol, and wet limestone. Ripe and juicy, with the sweetness kicking into gear mid-palate but…

Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese

Germany · Mosel Saar Ruwer

Ripe and sweet Meyer lemon, yellow peach, candied lemon drops, spritz-infused quince, granite, and wet limestone. Certainly one of the sweeter Rieslings I've had over the last couple of weeks, with a…

Dr. Loosen Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Auslese

Germany · Mosel Saar Ruwer

Honey, ripe apricot, yellow peach, and pear, lemontini, and the slightest hint of wet limestone. Wins all of its points for balance and purity, but every inch of this wine is wholly encompassed with…

Ulrich Langguth Piesporter Günterslay Riesling Spätlese

Germany · Mosel Saar Ruwer

Honey, overripe lemon, olive oil, fondant, and some faint kerosine. Simple and a bit cloying, with the honey note dominating over any other flavors. Finishes a bit weak and sweet.

Steinmetz und Hermann Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Alte Reben

Germany · Mosel Saar Ruwer

Quite the nice balance between dry and sweet, with just the slightest kiss of RS to give it body and depth and not come across too arid or saliva-sucking. Bruised lemon, honeyed lemon oil, pineapple,…
