Peter Lauer Senior Faß 6 Ayler Riesling 2015

Jay Kline

The 2015 Lauer Senior Faß 6 pours a bright golden color with some signs of particles (tartrates). On the nose, notes of petrol, tropical fruit, apples and rocky minerals. On the palate, the wine is…dry? There is probably a bit of RS but it’s balancing the acid which is laser cut. It finishes long and delicious. This will very likely drink well for another 5-7 years and goes hard with Thai food. This is just fantastic.

Ridiculous wine. Single vineyard, 35% slopes, old skool German shit. Have only seen pictures before, exceeded expectations, white flowers, apple, sugar, ACID. Love it, want 2 bottles of every sku, every year.

2015. The "Senior" from Lauer is always my jam. But if this bottling is any indication of the vintage, then the 2015's are siiiiiiiiiiiick! Textured, elegant, vibrant, & delicious.

Peter Lauer “Senior” Riesling and a classic by The Fall. No intention. To color code these two, just a bonus. The wine is beautifully dry and fresh. Citrus fruit & loads of acid. This record is everything. Caustic, somewhat uncomfortable, yet perfectly accessible. Outside the regular method thinkers here in both cases. Love it all.

2015 vintage Dec 2017 at Sun River ($22 at Vinopolis). Perfect dessert wine for those of us that want an aromatic wine with good acidity and slight sweetness on the finish. Highly recommended.

Mark Parker

well balanced minerals with some citrus fruit, I don't get much sweetness in this Vintage. Would definitely look for again.

Another killer Lauer Riesling. These '15 Rieslings from Germany in general have been so consistently awesome thus far from what I've tasted. Intense, bracing, angular, and at the moment, a bit austere (albeit pleasantly so, in my opinion). Give this a bit of air, because it shows a little too much struck-match reduction right out of the gate, but it blows off relatively quickly. Also very young, definitely one to cellar for a bit here. Pours a pale to medium (-) intensity straw hue. Decently concentrated nose of a boatload of wet, crushed slate, petrol, slightly underripe nectarine, starfruit, and green apple, Parmigiano rind leesiness, shiso leaf, and a subtle jasmine green tea character that I think will likely emerge some more with a bit of time in bottle. On the palate, the nose is mirrored almost identically in terms of flavor and those dense layers of flavor ride an absolute lightning bolt of intense, high acid. Light to medium (-) body but with great oily leesy texture, medium (-), in-balance alcohol, and the wine finishes dry but I can tell there's some RS to balance what would otherwise be like, enamel-stripping acid. Definitely less than 10g/L though, I'd guess. Quite evolving and complex. Awesome. Give me some crispy pork belly and a glass of this and I will be happy. Definitely going to get another bottle to put away for a while.

Delicious semi-dry fruity riesling. Will be restocking this one

First word out of my mouth at first sip: Wow. Floral, apple, acid - never want this wine to end.
