"Die Nase duftet so gewaltig nach rosa Grapefruit, superreife Cavaillonmelonen, Mirabellen, Maraquia und der Saft einer Hawaiiananas, etwas Aprikosen. Im Gaumen ein subtiler, frischer Auftakt, geschmeidige Muskeln, die extrem elegant sind; mit einer noblen Zartheit von fast braver Natur, mit guter Säure, sehr cremig, wunderbare Länge." - Caduff
"From the last third of this year's harvest - over-the-top wine from this famous site not having been a real risk in the present vintage, points out cellarmaster Bernard Schug - the Loosen 2008 Erdener Pralat Riesling Auslese boasts not only an imposingly honeyed overlay to its citrus liqueur and mango scents and palate impression and a creamy richness of texture, but also gravity defying levity and finishing finesse. This may never prove to be the most complex of Pralat bottlings, but it deserves 20-25 years to show what it can gain in bottle. Interestingly, it represents essentially a single day's picking during which and from which further, higher must-weight lots of Pralat were simultaneously picked- (or, as the case may be, snipped-) out." - David Schildknecht (187, The Wine Advocate)
