JOHN GILMAN - VIEW FROM THE CELLAR - 90 POINTS
The 2021 Blue Slate Riesling Kabinett AP #1 from Weingut Dr. Loosen is a pretty example
of its Pradikat level. The wine carries forty grams of residual sugar this year, to balance off its 8.5
grams of acidity and is eight percent octane. The bouquet here is refined and complex, wafting
from the glass in a mix of pear, white cherry, apple blossoms, a touch of wild yeast, a lovely base
of slate and a topnote of bee pollen. On the palate the wine is zesty, medium-full and filigreed,
with excellent mineral drive and focus, bouncy acids and a long, youthfully complex and
seamlessly balanced finish. Good juice. 2022-2050+. 90.
***
Classic Mosel Riesling. Loosen's generic Riesling Kabinett Blue Slate smells of mint, lime, narcissus, and ripe honeydew melon, which follow on a luscious, surprisingly softly-textured, yet refreshing palate. This is certainly delicate, yet its sweetness is impeccably-balanced.

Dr. Loosen Blue Slate is rich in flavor and medium sweetness. Excellent example of a very good Riesling.
