2023 Peter Lauer, Riesling Schonfels Grosses Gewachs Fass 11, Saar, Germany
$59.99
"The 2023 Schonfels as it is referred to on the central part of the label (GG is written top left), a bone-dry wine (with less than 3 g/l of residual sugar) made with fruit picked on this steep south-east facing hill overseeing the Saar (legally part of the Ayler Kupp vineyard). Slightly reductive at first with residues from its spontaneous fermentation, it quickly offers an aromatic and fresh nose of aniseed, elderflower, gooseberry, smoke, and aniseed. The wine is delicately creamy and juicy on the slightly fruit-driven palate and leaves a spicy and more mineral infused finish. There is also a touch of tartness in need of integration. It needs a few years to fully deliver." Mosel Fine Wines, No. 72
