Vintage 2018 | The wine is now so appealing, it is difficult to put it away in the cellar and not think about it, for say five years… minerals in the smell and a excellent balance with breathtaking sweet that is balanced by awesome acidity. This is a treat to taste now and in the coming fifteen, twenty years. — 4 years ago

Wow so good. Nose has buttered plums and flowers turned up to 11. Incredible density for kabinett, and long. So good already but tertiary qualities just starting to peek out. Two more years this will be even better. — 5 years ago

A softer, sweeter style I don’t usually associate with Lauer. Still, this is my bath water I want to luxuriate in… — 4 months ago

2022. Had side-by-side with the similarly delicious Weiser-Künstler “Enkircher Steffensberg im Löwenbaum" Riesling Spatlese 2022. The Lauer has a tiny bit more complex flavor and a little more mouthwatering acidity. I would gladly enjoy either wine again over the next few decades! — 2 years ago

Pale lemon in color. Intense nose with tertiary notes if petrol predominant followed by primary notes of pear, peach, apricot, and nectarine. On the palate you’ll find apple, pear, lemon, peach, apricot, nectarine, pineapple, mint, petrol, nutmeg, honey, and ginger. Medium sweet, medium acid, low alcohol, and a long finish. — 4 years ago

The “regular” 2020 Riesling Scharzhofberger Kabinett (bearing A.P. #3) leads with quince and peach accented by mint, cress, ginger and lemon, setting up an overall impression of coolness, but also of brightness, with stimulating cut and pungency analogous to that of the corresponding Braune Kupp. In the background is a greenhouse-like amalgam of flowers and foliage. The phenolic concentration here belies a vintage with relatively generous yields even as the efficacious acidity and levity defy preconceptions concerning a year marked by summer heat and drought. The multifaceted finish, transparent to wet stone underpinnings, is tongue-tinglingly vibrant. Here is a Riesling Kabinett to really grab and hold your attention even as it delivers consummate refreshment and a bit of thought-provoking intrigue to accompany its entertainment value.

Killing a baby but it’s too tempting now. It’s got some stuffing. Feinherb. 33g/l residual sugar and a 😳 10g acid. 9.5%. Excellent for his entry level. Glad I bought the whole PL 2020 lineup. — 5 years ago

This is an incredible bottling by Egon Müller. Deep gold and Incredible complexity with a saffron and pepper vein that holds the ripe fruits and petrol on course ... and this is his kabinett. Nuts. Seek this out. — 7 years ago
