"An amazingly minerally dry Mosel riesling that seems to descend into your glass from the heavens like an angel. Incredible wildflower and peach intensity, and yet this is very elegant and subtle on the medium-bodied palate. What fantastic precision at the extremely long finish. Great aging potential. Drink from release."

"The 2018 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Im Laychen Grosses Gewächs Réserve Alte Reben is a late release. The wine is from the oldest parcel Loosen owns on this site. It has been owned by the Loosens since 1911. The wine spent two years on lees in Fuder and four years in bottle before release. Notions of juicy, fine, tart apple blend with exquisitely aromatic lime and lemon oil against a backdrop of cool slate and the merest echo of freshly toasted white bread and slight smoke. The longer it breathes, the more lifted and aromatic it gets. The palate is like a balm – serene, limpid and concentrated, with the inherent elegance of the Wehlener Sonnenuhr and its statuesque structure and inherent serenity. Both the slenderness and freshness are astonishing for the hot 2018 summer and so surprising youthful and long with that citrus elegance. Wow."

2018 Riesling Urziger Wurzgarten GG Reserve

Now $229

"The 2018er Ürziger Würzgarten Unterst Pichter Réserve Alte Reben, as it is referred to on the front label (the reference to GG is left for the back label and GGR is engraved on the bottle), was made from parcels of very old un-grafted vines in the prime Pichter sector and was fermented in oak with ambient yeasts and aged on its gross lees for 24 months before being bottled. This wine offers a beautiful nose made of cassis, white flowers, earthy spices, smoke, and a hint of creaminess. It is beautifully elegant and intense on the palate, where the fruity side is beautifully wrapped into herbs and spices. The finish is gorgeously playful, subtly silky, and hugely precise. What a great dry Riesling in the making!"

"Enormous power and concentration, but every bit as much finesse. Hard to wrap your head around this monumental yet refined wine. The elegance is extraordinary for this super-warm vintage, Lovely mango fruit, but this is not a bit loud. Then comes an extraordinary minerality in the incredibly long finish. Drink or hold."
