Peter Lauer Rieslings?

I'm seeing a lot of high praise for Peter Lauer and his Rieslings the past few years.

I've ordered some Peter Lauer Ayer Kupp Fass 6 Senior Riesling '13, but have yet to taste it.

Any thoughts on this bottling and on Peter Lauer in general?

Thanks!

I love the wines and Florian is amazingly cool. I was able to visit him three times this year. Schonfels is an amazing vineyard.

That is me standing in Schonfels

Nice picture. I direct imported wine from him last year on behalf of a group of local wine buddies and Peter was excellent to deal with, accomodating with grace the quirky Brazilian bureaucracy involved.

Do you know Ed Motta? The Brazilian Jazz and Soul star? He is a big Lauer fan. We shared a bottle of 91 Lauer Sekt on his visit to NY during his last US tour.

Yes, I know him, Robert. He was not much interested in Riesling prior to trying the wines we imported last year (the 91 Sekt and a range of 2011s and 2012s).

Small world! Two of his bandmates from the current tour are German and are big Laurer fans and wanted to get Florian to come their show in Germany.

I am planning a Brazil trip in the near future.

So that's why none of you guys bought any last year!

Our bad! But that was a one shot deal.
 
Perhaps, though D.C. retailers can direct import, if I'm not mistaken. But I was thinking of the capricious, irregular rules governing shipping within the domestic market, in any event.
