A Winner from Loosen

2003 Dr. Loosen, Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Mosel, Auslese
$22 (375 ml)
Shane’s Notes

This is an amazing wine. The complex palate shows lemon, guava, kiwi, key lime and florals. The flavors, while magnificent, are not quite as rich as those of other Auslesen we have tasted. I suspect this wine is closer to the true definition of an Auslesen. The finish is acidic and steely and greatly complements the rich flavors. There is a great, classical structure to this wine (it reminded me of a symphony by Mozart). I checked the price on this one prior to posting this review. I couldn’t believe we only paid $22 for it. I would have paid twice the price.
