91 points Decanter: "A classic Mosel ambassador with all the verve, lively acidity and forward fruit one would expect. Off-dry in style with loads of apricot, baked apple, snappy citrus and engaging spice. A defined minerality weaves through the mid-palate and carries on in intensity through the long, clean finish. Drinking Window: 2020-2025. (Oct 2020)"
91 points Wine & Spirits: "Blended from a range of Ernst Loosen’s blue-slate vineyards in Bernkastel, Graach and Wehlen, this is lean and lithe, a long-limbed wine with quiet intensity. It tastes mostly of spice and stone, with a little of the peach flesh close to the pit; it feels cool and crystalline, like the air at the top of the chairlift on a clear winter day. (Feb 2020)"
90 points David Schildknecht (Vinous): "I can’t recall Loosen’s high-volume, very diversely sourced generic Kabinett ever having impressed me much... until this vintage! Classic Riesling scents and juicy palate presence of apple and white peach are deftly supported by moderate sweetness and complemented by tangy and piquant accents as well as appropriately underlain with wet stone. The finish is luscious, bright and almost irresistibly demanding of the next sip, as well as featuring savory hints of burley tobacco and sweet-saline, iodine-tinged raw scallop. Drink: 2020-2028. (Nov 2020)"
90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Zaps of lemon-lime acidity and spicy, smoky earth tones elevate this bright citrusy Riesling. Off dry in style, it offers tart, tangy lemon and white-grapefruit flavors edged by a honeyed sweetness. The finish is brisk and invigorating. Enjoy now through 2024. Alcohol 8.5%. (Apr 2020)"
