Moden, lys gyllengul farge. Helt nydelig, moden rieslingduft av moden gul frukt, et sødmefullt preg av blomsternektar, et streif av grapefrukt kombinert med ananaslake. Glatt tekstur med modent, søtlig frukt. Sitronterte, ananaslake, grapefrukt med sukker. Fantastisk riesling med restsødme nok til at den går i retning av en kabinett, men det er bare rundt 10 %, og syre som renser pent opp etterpå. Smaken sitter i et minutt, og dette er bare helt nydelig. 50+5+13+16+7= 91 p.

This is in a prime drinking stage! No formal notes taken. Everybody was raving about it.

2016 vintage

Leads with peach or nectarine or even cherry on the nose and in the mouth, good minerality on the core, decent length on a combo of acidity and slight residual sugar. Is off-off-dry a thing? This is nice while also missing that intense minerality and bracing acidity I look for in a Saar riesling.

2016 vintage

A rich golden color. Nose of fresh sweet citrus, kumquats, creamy grapefruit and floral notes. On the palate a great mouth feel with terrific balanced ctirus and white fruit combined with lifting acidity and amazing power without weight. A touch of sweetness really balances out the acidity and is lovely with food. Great length and persistence on the finish. This is excellent and drinking very well right now.

Pop and pour. Lovely. On the nose: wet stone, pink grapefruit, cotton candy, soft kumquat. On the palate: fantastic acidity, pink grapefruit, sweet tangerine, and such presence. Lovely!

2016 vintage

Pop'n pour Nose > Lime-flesh, grapefruit & lemon-oil, white-nectarine, lavender, apricot, lime-creme, red-cherry & limestone on-the-rocks. With air adds creamy nectarine-skin, violet, a hint of Chartreuse & some pungent musk. Palate > Big rich firm mouthful. Lemon-oil, lime-flesh, creamy white nectarine, crystallized citrus-pith, apricot/tart-apricot, Morello & Rainier cherry. Adds richness, some riper orchard fruit, powdered minerals & a subtle yet powerful creamy nectarine-skin/skin-contact background element w/air. Great, integrated, ripe acidity. Med++ intensity, depth & length. Drinks off-dry. More quietly impressive …

Very upfront sugar and acidity. Melon and lime, great balance. A lovely wine coming into its drinking window

2016 vintage

Very aromatic, cool fruit, mineraly, sitrus, chalky, botrytis, apricot. Medium body, medium + acidity, high consentration, ok balanced, complex, some CO2 to begin with, a hint of bitterness in the middle. Still very young, and will probably evolve nicely in the years to come.

2016 vintage

This seemed very reticent. The nose was very little expressive but in the mouth, on the second day, it showed this mouthfilling off-dry fruit and minerality with multiple aromatic dimensions. Excellent but less luminous than the Saarfeilser GG 2015 and the Fass 1 2018. Will probably improve with some years.

Very classic Lauer. This is one of my favorite bottlings. Neunberg sits at the base of the Kupp vineyard, literally meaning 'new mountain'. It is elegant and precise with incredible tension. Native yeast in old wood vat, RS/TA hovers around 'just dry' or 'perceptibly' dry. This is young but very hard to resist!

2016 vintage

brief note. this is light and lively, great acidity and just a hint of RS that smooths it out. n reason to wait - this is good near termandnot sure how it will progress

2016 vintage

Even better than I remembered it. Starting to integrate.

2016 vintage

Grapefruit, lime blossom, and wet stone. Relatively straightforward, but delicious. Good now.

2016 vintage

More white peaches than citrus. I was expecting a little bit more minerality and acidity. Paired well with spicy ramen (at Totto). Very young. If I had more, I would revisit in 5yrs.

2016 vintage

Great dry German Riesling. Smashed mint, shiso, bergamot, kaffir lime. Clean and zippy.

2016 vintage

På denne vinen er det 35 g/l reststødme og 9,5% alkohol. Vinen er rik på nesen med mer moden sitrus, nektar og med et fint hint av nøtt. Vinen er middels fyldig med meget sødmefulle epler og litt toffee. Syren greier jobben vin. Bra, kanskje litt ukomplisert vin dette.

2016 vintage

Tasted at the winery. Pleasant nose of grapefruit, candied lime, and a touch of smoke. Zesty on the palate with a strong acidic backbone and tart finish. Not terribly complex, but still enjoyable.

2016 vintage

Just lovely. Vibrant, lean, energetic. Really pleasing at this young age. Perfect lunch wine. Should be great over next 3-5 years.

2016 vintage

Apricots, pears and then major print shop ink nose. Groovy. Unexpected fruit and sweet takes off on palate, coating mouth and tetth. Grapefruity. Turkish delight. Then fades with poppy seed muffins. Brilliant and really clear voiced. Harmony of acids, fruit and sweet on the middle which makes the rather flattened and monochromatic finish a disappointment.

2016 vintage

Mineral wave nose like a crashing mountain stream. Mineral on the start and dried flesh. Some fruit with a little botrytis-like funk. Concentrated. Feeling of sweetness, bananas and red pepper. Good finish with a slight insect note. Granny smith apples. Thins a bit, though persistent. Final meaty notes.

2016 vintage

"Saary not Saary" (New York City, NY) : This is starting to land in my riesling safe space. The fruit profile of this is much more pronounced, with some stone fruit (peaches) to go alongside green apples. The palate has a much more complete feel to it, in that you're not just left dangling by the acidity. Still, there's no disguising the fact that this is a wine made in a relatively leaner style.

2016 vintage

The nose was mineral-driven and intense with crushed limestone giving way to ripe peach, granny smith apple and fresh green herbs. On the palate it was medium-bodied and soft, backed but vibrant acidity which was nearly hidden beneath notes of ripe mango, lime and a spritz of penetrating, sweet, vibrant minerality. It finished on tart citrus tones and zesty acid with caking stone dust minerals on the senses. Very nice.

2016 vintage

The German Crush Tour; 10/8/2017-10/16/2017 : hint of clean botrytis with notes of orange blossom, peach, with yellow peach dominating the ripe mid, with hints of ripe grapefruit toward the finish. powerful, but not unapproachable wine.

2016 vintage

The German Crush Tour; 10/8/2017-10/16/2017 : Love it. This was my personal choice from all the feinherbs to bring home. Elegant yellow peach and mineral driven wine, with mirabelle and citrus overtones, ripe lush mid leads to a more elegant back and dryer finish of zest and stone fruit. excellent.

2016 vintage

Are you sure?
