92 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2023 Riesling No. 6 Senior, harvested from 70-year-old vines at the tail-end of the Ayler Kupp, benefits from the evening sun. A subtle nose brings pale peach that ripens with more air. Smoothness and flow define the palate, with gentle, calm fruit and a drop of lemon to accentuate the yellow, smooth peach flesh. It's still dry, emphasizing lovely, understated peach fruit and a mild finish. Generous but with no fat at all. Drink: 2024-2050. (Dec 2024)"

Producer notes: "Grandfather Peter Lauer I (1906–1991) used to enjoy a bottle of Riesling every day. It smelled wonderful, tasted dry, but finely balanced with a hint of fruit on the palate. Every year, he chose a cask from Ayler Kupp. He placed particular emphasis on a single wine for all his guests, which appealed to both the dry wine drinker and the lover of fruity wines. As a tribute to this famous “Senior” wine, we vinify a worthy successor every year that grandfather would like to taste."
