"Salt-rimmed lime and flint etch angularity into plush, luminous Mirabelle plum and lemon flavors in this medium-sweet Riesling sourced from slopes of smoky, red slate soil. It's decadently honeyed yet maintains perfect balance and pitch, piercing the palate with streaks of spine-tingling acidity and a lingering, smoky, spicy finish. Delicious already but powerful enough to improve through 2035 and hold longer still. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Crushed minerals on the nose mingle into concentrated, filigreed flavors of yellow peach, mango, lemon on palate. It's luscious and mouthclinging yet dancing in texture, balanced by tingling sprays of lime acidity. This is a luminous sip to enjoy for decades to come. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Pristine grapefruits and yellow peaches are shaded by smoke and crushed stone in this ephemerally light, penetrating Riesling. It's honeyed and almost creamy in texture yet balanced by racing darts of acidity. A stunningly concentrated, complex wine that's irresistible already, this is likely to improve well through 2035. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"While sprightly in body and texture, this intensely concentrated, medium-sweet Riesling offers powerful fruit intensity offset by toe-tingling acidity. Ripe, luscious apricot and yellow-peach flavors are fresh, lingering on the finish with hints of sweet biscuit and caramel."

"Laser strikes of acidity and deep, mineral intensitiy lend a grounded elegance to this otherwise sunny, yielding dessert wine. It's intensely honeyed, bursting with sweet pineapple and peach flavors, yet finely filigreed in mouthfeel. Delicious already, it should improve through 2040."

"Lanolin and honeycomb lend a mineral slick to sweet peach and honey flavors in this lavishly rich Riesling. It's marmalade sweet on the palate, yet brisk in lemon acidity that stretches out the finish. It's delicious now, but those mineral complexities will shine from 2018 on."

"Aromas of melon, honey and blossom are sweet and sprightly on this delicately framed yet intensely flavored Riesling. It's bright and brisk in tangerine flavor, but streaked with layers of honey and nectar that linger long and sweet on the finish."

"Lemon cream, spice and lanolin notes add a mysterious veil to this delicate yet intensely concentrated Riesling. It's sweet on the palate with ripe, honeyed citrus, and a delicious mineral oil sheen that lengthens the palate."

"This thrilling auslese starts off with intriguing spicy, musky aromas, then moves easily into flavors of pear, melon, pineapple and even red berries on the palate. It somehow comes across as plump, yet crytalline and pure, with a long, fruit-driven finish. Drink now-2030."

"This is a rather sweet auslese, but the sugars are balanced by crisp acids, which impart backbone to the wine. They form a solid spine from which the opulent flavors of superripe pineapple and honeyed citrus are suspended. Finishes with verve and a flourish of crushed-stone minerality."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Dr. Loosen Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese" from the vintage 2005 on 01.01.2007 with 92 of 100 points.
"Dried apricot notes on the nose mingle with pineapple, vanilla and smoky-slatey notes. Flavors of apricot, pineapple, melon and citrus form a veritable fruit bowl, but they're all anchored by stony minerality. This is beautifully balanced, with honeyed sweetness kept in check by bright acidity."

"(2006) Very clean, sherbetty, glacial quality to the fruit. With some delicate spice and a background of really ripe, juicy apples and peach fruit. There's a little touch of honey too. The palate has fantastic concentration, with an unctuous quality to the fruit, with blossom and peach down dullness, and a lovely nectarine ripeness. Acidity here is quite generous in nature, but there is a lovely balance and cutting edge of beautiful, clean and poised minerality."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Dr. Loosen Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese" from the vintage 2003 on 01.01.2005 with 90 of 100 points.
"Wonderfully clean and precise aromas of pear and honeydew give way to apple and lime flavors. This avoids excess weight or sugar, revealing a more classical structure than many of the 2003s. Long and fresh on the finish. Imported by Loosen Bros. USA."
