2020 Falkenstein Krettnacher Euchariusberg Kabinett Alte Reben (Gisela)
Chiseled firm and fresh, there is great cut and great stoney depth, with layered structure body revealing itself with air. The fruit peeks out a bit over time, and it’s certainly not a difficult wine to drink. But as admirable as it is, the joy is not yet there and I’m not opening any more bottles any time soon.
2020 Lauer Ayler Kupp Kabinett Fass 8
Gorgeous. Showing very well. Juicy plump sweet lemon drop fruit, but great Saar freshness and citrus verve. Very vivid, very delicious.
2020 Lauer Kern No. 9
This is tougher going. Sure it’s refined and subtle, which is nice. But the airy crisp structure is not as giving and feels a bit backwards right now. There is some material there, so the future is probably better.
2020 Lauer Stirn No. 15
Gorgeous. So fine, so precise and so delicate, but also friendly with a nice zesty tangy herbal lime sweetness. Racy and lovely. More please, the bottle is empty.
