description: This auslese is less obviously fruity than many of Loosen's recent efforts, with a smoky, fuel-oil overlay to the honeyed and stone-like flavors. At only 7.5% alcohol, it's sweet yet not heavy, balanced by bright acidity and a hint of prickly CO2 still in evidence. Drink it over the next 15–20 years.
variety: Riesling
designation: Erdener Prälat Auslese 375 ml
