2016 Dr. Loosen Erdener Pralat Alte Reben Riesling Grosses Gewachs Reserve

2016 Dr. Loosen Erdener Pralat Alte Reben Riesling Grosses Gewachs Reserve

The 2016er Erdener Prälat Réserve Alte Reben, as it is referred to on the main label (the reference to GG is left for the back label), is made from very old un-grafted vines, and was fermented in oak with ambient yeasts and aged on its gross lees for 24 months before being bottled. This hayyellow- colored wine offers a still somewhat backward but already quite impressive nose made of a touch of underripe pineapple, elderflower, grapefruit, and smoky elements. While the nose is already hugely engaging, the wine is still slightly smooth at this stage on the palate but the complexity of the finish more than hints at the greatness packed in here at maturity. The aftertaste is simply splendid as it combines the subtly fieriness so typical of the Prälat with the typical delineated juiciness of grand dry Mosel wines. This is a classic in the making! – 95 points, Jean Fisch
