VDP Grosse Lage Saarfeilser Faß 13 Riesling 2022

Lauer Riesling brings the heat as expected. Acidic and aromatic, would pair well with something spicy or even fried. — 2 months ago

Gaisberg Reserve Erste Lage Riesling 2021

Nose - quite shy, but unmistakably Riesling - not dissimilar to a warmer region like the Rheinhessen. Mineral and herbaceous at the moment, with the fruit very much a supporting act. What great potential!

Palate - huge concentration, especially on day two! Saline, tart, like an incredibly fresh lime dressed with salt - am I drinking tequila? Also so herbaceous and floral, with hints of lavender and even blue fruits.

More reserved than the powerful, fabulous 2019, but possessing a similar level of clarity in both the nose and palate, with tremendous salinity, impressive structure and a long finish. It feels a touch early to be drinking this - even with a decant - so I look forward to breaching this case again in a few years’ time.

Ayler Kupp Faß 7 Spätlese Riesling Grosse Lage 2022

2022. Had side-by-side with the similarly delicious Weiser-Künstler “Enkircher Steffensberg im Löwenbaum" Riesling Spatlese 2022. The Lauer has a tiny bit more complex flavor and a little more mouthwatering acidity. I would gladly enjoy either wine again over the next few decades! — 6 months ago

World class. Essentially unchanged from previous notes. Also see Lyles notes. Last bottle! I just could not help myself to age this stunning wine. Perfect with Ahi Poke. — a month ago

Indeed - need to visit this namesake guy in 2025. Just great to sit there among the vineyards.

Renner Reserve Erste Lage Grüner Veltliner 2021

First time in a long time trying Grüner Veltliner! I found this wine quite hard to get into, possibly because of unfamiliarity, or perhaps the style of wine? There’s no denying this is pretty fantastic stuff, herbaceous and mineral with great salinity and juiciness on the palate. It’s super concentrated, full-bodied and really quite youthful – I just think it might not be my cup of tea! Still, I’ll hold on to the remaining bottles I have and try another in a few years’ time. (Late amendment to this note: this wine came into its own with a simple dish of sea bass & lemon - definitely a wine for food!) — 8 months ago
