Oak however is a little distracting on this vintage

The finish is tight and reminiscent of a Super Tuscan with a full-bodied expression that will age for decades

There is outstanding delineation and intensity to the refined and pure medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by deceptively pliant tannins on the saline-inflected finish that seems to be constructed from liquid stone

The first vintage is the 2015 Les Aubaguetes

the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Wraith leaps from the glass with gregarious black and red cherries

Peter Lauer, Schonfels Fass 11 GG Vintage:2020 Oak however is a littleLauers 2020 Schonfels GG Fass 11 is deep, intense and pure on the still yeasty nose that exhibits ripe fruit intertwined with herbal floral and stony aromas. Crystalline and lean on the palate and with enormous length, this is a pure and refined, vegetal flavored dry Riesling with remarkable finesse and tension. More classic maybe than the richer van Volxem. Tasted in Wiesbaden in August 2021.
