Hints of botrytis in the form of pungent spice and aromatic prickle as well as an enhancement of both richness and peppy acidity mark the step to Loosen's 2008 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese from his collection of Kabinetts. Honey and vanilla cream are partly offset by tart notes of apple skin although the impression of sweetness in the long finish here is much more obvious than in the corresponding Kabinett. I'd give this superbly-endowed Riesling a decade to demonstrate its (possible) superiority to that wine though I am sure it will thrive for the better part of two.
