Dr. Loosen Riesling Erdener Treppchen GG Alte Reben 2019

97 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Erdener Treppchen Riesling GG Alte Reben comes from two very old plots adjacent the Prälat (the upper part of the former original Treppchen and the lower Herzlay) that have never been replanted since long before World War I. It shows a clear, intense yet subtle and deep, highly complex but also refined bouquet of very fine red slate and herbal aromas as well as perfectly clear and elegant Riesling fruits. Silky textured, highly finessed and perfectly balanced on the palate, this is a very intense and juicy, enormously long and concentrated yet finessed and mouthwatering Treppchen with the crystalline grip of broken slate and the intensity and complexity of biblical vines in a great terroir. The 2019 Treppchen is arguably the finest dry wine I have ever tasted from Ernie Loosen. Highly recommended. Tasted at the domain in September 2020. Drink: 2020-2050. (Oct 2020)"

96 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Stunning aromas of beautiful lemon curd, apricots and anise. Packed with fruit and so succulent, although it is properly dry. Very intense, long finish with anise, fennel and minerals. Drink or hold. (4/12/21)"

96 points Luca Gardini: "Another extraordinary wine produced by Loosen, in the Erdener Treppchen area. Fragrances of bergamot, then ripe yellow fruits (nectarines, yellow plums), followed by officinal hints from fresh sage. Dense and thick mouth. Fresh and persistent with fruity notes in the aftertaste. (Jan 2021)"
