2012 Ürzig WÜRZGARTEN Riesling Alte Reben Grosses Gewächs RESERVE Q.b.A. trocken Dr. Loosen, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2012 Ürzig WÜRZGARTEN Riesling Alte Reben Grosses Gewächs RESERVE Q.b.A. trocken, Dr. Loosen

Aged on the lees in classic Mosel foudres for two years, the 2012 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling GG Alte Reben Reserve opens with a bright and very delicate nose. Round, intense and very elegant on the palate, this Reserve reveals great finesse and complexity and is currently the greater, finer wine compared to the regular GG.

Mosel Fine Wines - 2012 Ürzig WÜRZGARTEN Riesling Alte Reben Grosses Gewächs RESERVE Q.b.A. trocken, Dr. Loosen

The 2012er Ürziger Würzgarten Reserve Alte Reben, as it is referred to on the front label, offers a breathtakingly refined and elegantly complex nose of whipped almond cream, floral elements (especially elderflower), herbs, bergamot, lavender, anise, tangerine zest, and candied lemon. The wine shows a magnificent creamy and smooth side on the palate, before it develops depth and precision. The finish proves hugely long and fully dry, with some refined spices and zest. There is a gentle and salivating tartness, which makes one want to go for more. It superbly combines intensity thanks to the dry extract and finesse. This is a great “Mosel upon Burgundy” dry Riesling in the making, and one which still has plenty of years ahead. Now-2037. - Mai 2022
