A softer, sweeter style I don’t usually associate with Lauer. Still, this is my bath water I want to luxuriate in… — 2 months ago

What an extremely satisfying Kabinett. Lauer just keeps killing it. — 4 years ago

Vintage 2018 | The wine is now so appealing, it is difficult to put it away in the cellar and not think about it, for say five years… minerals in the smell and a excellent balance with breathtaking sweet that is balanced by awesome acidity. This is a treat to taste now and in the coming fifteen, twenty years. — 4 years ago

Beautiful wine. Wish I was having it with the person who introduced me to Riesling. Honey, lemon, citrus, petrol but very light Emilie would love this if you read this try it — 3 months ago

Absolutely delicious with a few more years on it. So pure and full, with excellent cut and body. A pleasure. — a year ago

Pale lemon in color. Intense nose with tertiary notes if petrol predominant followed by primary notes of pear, peach, apricot, and nectarine. On the palate you’ll find apple, pear, lemon, peach, apricot, nectarine, pineapple, mint, petrol, nutmeg, honey, and ginger. Medium sweet, medium acid, low alcohol, and a long finish. — 4 years ago

Thought this a bit lackluster upon first opening but complexity significantly improved over time. Tropical fruit, apples, that touch of petrol. — 4 months ago

The “regular” 2020 Riesling Scharzhofberger Kabinett (bearing A.P. #3) leads with quince and peach accented by mint, cress, ginger and lemon, setting up an overall impression of coolness, but also of brightness, with stimulating cut and pungency analogous to that of the corresponding Braune Kupp. In the background is a greenhouse-like amalgam of flowers and foliage. The phenolic concentration here belies a vintage with relatively generous yields even as the efficacious acidity and levity defy preconceptions concerning a year marked by summer heat and drought. The multifaceted finish, transparent to wet stone underpinnings, is tongue-tinglingly vibrant. Here is a Riesling Kabinett to really grab and hold your attention even as it delivers consummate refreshment and a bit of thought-provoking intrigue to accompany its entertainment value.
