Checking in on this one tonight.
Nose has under-ripe peach, tart green apple with the wet mineral notes on high alert.
Palate has clementine peel, under-ripe tangerine and (light) wet slate.
This halbtrocken seems a little ackward tonight, maybe better tomorrow, or in a few more years...

Aug 3rd, 2018My favorite Saar multi-vineyard Riesling blend. Picking up more tart green apple that prior bottles, also wet slate and light petrol notes are becoming apparent with more bottle age.
Great wine to sneak into a film festival in my water bottle tonight, yum!

The '15 is slightly better, but you can't argue with the freshness of the current vintage.

Green apple, peach and nectarine, perfect acidity.

Looks like Florian Lauer got around to a label refresh for the '16 vintage, and picking up the (unregulated) feinherb designation this year, interesting... I'm guessing you won't see that on the EU distribution labels, I'll have to do some homework. (Update: SB at Vom Boden confirms mid vintage regulations drove the update, new label language/format is confirmed going forward.)
Nose picks up green apple, peach and nectarine, palate follows with the same, plus well balanced acidity, agree this is halbtrocken in style. Very nice bottle, less stunning than in years past, but admittedly it's is difficult to follow '14 & '15 as they were such amazing examples of what can be done with a multi-vineyard blend from across the Saar. Still a good value at $18.
