Vinoculation

2005 Loosen Dr L Riesling

Having changed significantly since our last encounter in 2006, this wine continues to impress with subtle Mosel elegance. Showing more pronounced paraffin and fusel characters than remembered, aromas of passionfruit, pine and ripe apples evolve with time in the glass. The charactersitic low alcohol level (8.5%) ensures the mouthfeel remains silky soft, accompanied by a delectable level of residual sweetness. Initial grapey hints give way to more subtle flavours of lime and delicate peach, finished off with a refreshing burst of balanced acidity. Very drinkable; a pity it was the last one in the cellar.
