Just concluded the annual Fall seclusion at our cabin in the Rangeley lakes region of Maine, mobile service up there is mostly non-existent, after several days I am posting again. Notes are somewhat brief, as my focus is relaxing and watching the Common Loons swimming and diving in the cove in front of our camp.

Nose has tart green apple, sugared water, white grapefruit slices, cold under-ripe peach and classroom chalk.
Palate has tart green apple flesh, red apple peel, lime zest, lime juice, light limestone paste, lively with medium finish and fun acidity.

So much vibrancy and clarity wound up into one package. Great acid and weight with mouthwatering acidity.

German Riesling to go with some Pad Thai. Good choice. Tremendous value.

Cutting acid and mineral. Reserved prickly stone fruit. Great entry to the Saar. Excellent QPR.

No, you only think you don't like Riesling. Barrel X will be your opened door to the fascinating world of Riesling! Lauer has the power.

Nice acidity and balance. Easy to drink. Some minerals and no petrol. I will buy some.
