Dr. Loosen 2012 Ürziger Würzgarten GG Réserve Alte Reben Erste Lage Dry Riesling (Mosel)
Layers of exotic spice and crushed earth permeate through this dry Riesling paying just homage to it's red-clay origins in Ürziger Würzgarten, the spice garden of the Mosel. It's exquisitely light bodied, a revitalizing crush of cutting white grapefruit and lime flavors. The finish is marked by a meandering spray of spice and honey. Drinks well now but should improve through at least 2030. Anna Lee C. Iijima
