Dr. Loosen won a five-star review for its 2014 Kabinett Riesling last year, and got praise for other selections, including it’s reliably great Blue Slate offering, which I’m drinking as I write this. But this Beerenauslese dessert reez earns the good doctor yet another 5-star award.
The nose is a complicated mix of the usual sweet fruits and some unusual, but exciting, herbs… is that patchouli? On the palate it’s just as interesting, as there’s no raisin or fig here, but instead plums and the slightest hint of blueberries. Not particularly viscous, and with a remarkably low alcohol content of 6.5. Can be sipped by itself or with a light dessert, such as white cake or perhaps tiramisu before the cappuccino.
Just insanely good!
