"A crush of crystalline minerality and delicate spice mingle into luminous white peach and pineapple here. Intensely ripe yet gorgeously pure in fruit, it's a snappy, spine-tingling style of off-dry Riesling that's irresistible young but likely to maintain peak performance through 2027 and hold longer still. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"While the nose here is intently smoky and stony, intensely ripe honeyed tangerine and lemon flavors abound on the palate. It's a penetrating, sun-drenched kabinett marked by spine-tingling acidity and a lingering, integrated sweetness. Its pristine citrusy character shines in youth but, with time, will meld into its more earthen complexities. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Duft nach frischen hellen Früchten, Birne, Melone, frische Blumenwiesen, dezente Kräuter, Mandarine, sehr fein. Am Gaumen elegante Frische, Mandarine, Zitrusfrucht, feine Säure im Spiel mit der Süße, leicht phenolisch, schöne Länge, komplex ? köstlicher Kabinett."

"Loads of crushed minerals lend a crystalline tone to zesty lime, green apple and lemon flavors in this delightfully off-dry kabinett. Light sabers of citrus acidity and a salty mineral streak lend a Margarita-like kick to a lingering finish. Delightful now, but it should drink well through 2030. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Sehr verschlossen im Duft. Jodig, zitrisch, wirkt extrem präzise gelesen. Am Gaumen rassig und verspielt, brillante Säure, feines Spiel mit der (defensiven) Süße, zitrusfruchtig, dicht mineralisch, herrlich geschliffen, wird sich noch jahrelang verbessern."

"Exuberantly fresh white peach and grapefruit flavors are cut by streaks of lime in this concentrated, juicy kabinett. Lip smackingly sweet and tart, it offsets its forward, fruity facade with a core of bracing minerality. The finish is marked by lingering slate and smoke tones."

"Primärfruchtig im Duft, etwas Walderdbeere, eine pfeffrige Schiefernote. Am Gaumen still, weder besonders süß noch extrem sauer, ein Kabinett an der Grenze zum Spätlese-Typ- nicht ganz mit dem Schmelz einer Spätlese, aber sehr gut mit Gehalt dotiert."

"Whiffs of sun-burnt slate lend contrast to bright nectarine and citrus peel flavors in this clingy, textured Kabinett. Bristling acidity balances delicate swathes of honey- and nectar-like sweetness that linger on the finish. It's delightfully refreshing, with complexity to linger over."

"Noch verschlossen mit primäraromatischen und pfeffrigen Noten. Kohlensäurefrisch im Auftakt, leichtgewichtig, schlank und saftig, feinnervig, spielerisch und unbeschwert, idealtypischer Kabinettstil, ungekünstelt und nicht zu süß."

"There's a revitalizing swathe of herbs on the nose of this medium-sweet Riesling, highlighting notes of lemon and lime against a backdrop of juicy, ripe yellow peaches and nectarines. It's delicately lacy on the palate, yet bolstered by tones of honey and wax. A citrus acidity that pierces long on the finish."

"Lanolin and honeycomb notes lend a minerally feel to rich, lusciously concentrated peach and tangerine flavors in this powerful yet finely structured kabinett. A hint of spritz and shocking lemon-lime acidity lead the way to a long, elegant finish."

"Loosen's focus on fruit purity is reflected admirably in this pristine Riesling. The only quibble would be a slight lack of complexity. Sweet berry fruit is balanced by racy lime-like acidity, resulting in a wine that's clean, refreshing and nicely balanced at a lowabv."

"A terrific kabinett, Loosen's 2007 WS offers slightly smoky, leesy notes upfront, then adds touches of white peach, pear, vanilla and a trace of cinnamon. It's round and lush on the palate, yet racy at the same time, finishing long and sweet, with a citrusy tinge to the flavors."

"Light and fresh, this is a wonderfully appealing kabinett, true to its prädikat despite having an abundance of sugar. Lime and green apple aromas set the tone, while the flavors of peaches, apples and citrus fruit never seem heavy. Pure fruit finishes crisp and refreshing."

"(2006) Lovely fleshy nectarine and ripe, quite rich melon and delicate floral edged aromas. The palate has plenty of tang and crisp acidity, but the delicate, racy fruit flavours, with an underlying tropical richness and sweetness. Very fine and very long."

"(2002) This has a subdued nose of waxy, lightly bruised pear and some herbal qualities. On the palate there is good sweetness, with a lemony core of fruit and a little suggestion of minerality. Tart green apple adds a counterpoint of acidity. Really very pleasant wine from a difficult vintage."
