"The Loosen 2009 Erdener Treppchen Riesling Spatlese is richer, yet more delicate than the corresponding Kabinett, suggesting herbal liqueur, honeydew melon, and lusciously ripe citrus on a succulent, buoyant palate and with a delightfully persistent, infectiously juicy finish that introduces hints of nut oils and salted caramel. There should be 25 years of potential pleasure packed into bottles of this." - David Schildknecht (192, The Wine Advocate)
