2024 Peter Lauer Riesling Unterstenberg Fass 12, Mosel, Germany
$49.99
The U-berg goes dry again in 2024; hello climate change. Still, I can't help but find the dry version of this wine just wildly compelling...inscrutable a bit in youth, but with time the onion layers will unravel.. Again, maybe best-ever U-berg for me. - vB
MFW: "The 2024 Unterstenberg No. 12, as it is referred to in the central part of the label, is a dry wine (with 5 g/l of residual sugar) made from fruit harvested in the similarly named prime Lieu-Dit forming the south-southwest facing, front part of the original Kupp hill (at the foot of the hill). This cask sample proves still very smoky and marked by residues from its spontaneous fermentation and reveals quite herbal and darker aromatics including plum, licorice, black tea, herbs, licorice, and smoke. The wine proves slightly fruitier on the palate, with a rounder and smoother texture. The finish is beautifully creamy and long. This is impressive in a richer and smoother style. 2028-2039"
