1999 Dr. Loosen Erdener Pralat Riesling Auslese

Scents of mango, blood orange, vanilla and honey signal the site, as well as significant but harmonious botrytis. Full and rich in the mouth, this wine sweetness seems more successfully integrated than that of the Wehlener. The long finish is like sucking on an orange-vanilla creamsicle. 1 star. A big, sappy-sweet Urziger Wurzgarten Auslese Gold Capsule, by contrast, gave off oddly mixed flavor signals of caramelized fruit and celery root.
