Dr. Loosen, Erdener Pralat Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel other_regions_australia it is a bit lean

it is a bit lean on the palate

as is the case with the vintages of the 1990s

This robust and powerful effort is decidedly old school in style

iron and dried violet joining the herb accents on the lasting finish

on the ripe red currant

Dr. Loosen, Erdener Pralat Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel other_regions_australia it is a bit lean(for 375 ml.) Golden yellow. Rich aromas of mango, candied quince and lemon oil mingle with spicy botrytis. Intense, deep flavors of rich pit fruits and glazed honey are nicely framed by the wine' elegant saline minerality. This massive auslese is certainly the finest in Loosen's line up this vintage, but will need time to reveal its potential. Joel B. Payne
