Tasting note
Dr. Loosen's 2002 Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Auslese should pair ripe apricot and peach with honey, citrus and a floral lift. Expect a supple, sweet palate shaped by Riesling's vivid acidity, which keeps the texture buoyant and the fruit precise. Its peak period extends to 2041, while the broader drinking span continues through 2052. The finish should be long and layered, carrying stone fruit toward lemon, honey and a fine mineral impression.
