Lots of enjoyable trocken around, few as exuberant, long and well tensioned as Barrel X. 2017 is outrageous.

Yum! Earthy. Has the Lauer style but a fraction of the impact of his other wines. Still damn damn good. Drink all day every day type of wine

Sublime citrus drinking well, five years in the bottle. $20.

Oh ok! Somewhere in the upper half of sweetness for Riesling but not too much, tough to find those, so I’m in.

Lime, green apple and stones. Brilliant acidity. Floral note and pleasing residual sugar. Great value.
