2015 Dr Loosen Urziger Wurzgarten Unterst Pichler Alte Reben Reserve Riesling Grosses Gewachs

Other Reviews....
This dry Mosel makes a bold statement with tons of spice, beautifully interwoven with the serious concentration, rolling over you in one huge wave that washes you up on a rocky, volcanic shore. In spite of all that, there’s great subtlety at the breathtaking finish. Drink or hold.

Framboise and strawberry distillates, lime peel and wet stone inform an ethereal nose. There is some of the same delightfully invigorating impression of fresh, seedy red berries as in the as-yet unbottled “regular” 2018 Grosses Gewächs, a further demonstration that extended time in cask (this spent two years there) need by no means sap Loosen Grosse Gewächse of primary juiciness, animation or invigoration. In fact, the energy that this bottling projects is quite tightly wound. Alkaline, saline and kelp-like notes serve for intrigue and saliva-inducement on a tongue-tingling finish. The mineral and marine elements here are perceived more as a suffusion, and there is, for now at least, not the sense of transparency projected by the corresponding Wehlener Sonnenuhr. Drink 2020 - 2028.

The 2015er Ürziger Würzgarten Unterst Pichter Reserve Alte Reben, as it is referred to on the main label (the reference to GG is left for the back label), is made from parcels of very old un-grafted vines in the prime Pichter sector and was fermented in oak with ambient yeasts and aged on its gross lees for 24 months before being bottled. It offers a breathtaking, undercooled, and superbly complex nose of aniseed herbs, smoke, spices, almond cream, honeyed yellow peach, muscade, quince, and fine buttery elements. The wine reveals a great creamy texture and plenty of superbly playful fruits wrapped into plenty of spices on the palate. This feeling carries over right into the hugely long and focused finish. The wine is still tight in the aftertaste but already hints at great refreshing elements of tangerine, minty herbs, and above all spices. Drink 2024-2040.
