"Vanilla, licorice, honey and apple in the nose of the Loosen 2008 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese gold capsule lead into a rich, soothing, surprisingly soft palate. Apple jelly, vanilla cream, and melon liqueur make for an opulent sense of over-ripeness. Here is another 2008 Loosen Auslese of admirable purity and delicacy that however misses - at least in this youthful state - quite the magic of the best of the collection's residually sweet offerings. I would certainly expect at least 15-20 years of satisfaction here, though." - David Schildknecht (187, The Wine Advocate)
