2015 Dr Loosen Urziger Wurzgarten GG

From 80 to 100-year-old vines (mainly in the Urglück parcel), the 2015 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Alte Reben GG has a deep, pure, clear, intense and fascinatingly aromatic bouquet of small and spicy, thick-skinned yellow plums and peaches; there are also some smoky and flinty aromas from the red volcanic Würzgarten soils. On the palate, this is a super clear, vital and elegant Riesling in perfect balance. Tasting almost like a Nahe (Felsenberg) Riesling, its refined acidity and overall finesse is clearly Mosel. The finish is long, fresh, clear and aromatic, and reveals stimulating grip and tension. This is another great and age-worthy, dry Mosel cru that Riesling lovers should not miss. 93+ points
