With over two decades of maturation, it reveals rich notes of caramel, dried apricots, and baked apple, alongside a distinctive touch of kerosene that’s typical of aged Rieslings. The sweetness, while still present, has softened, perfectly balanced by the wine’s bright, lively acidity, ensuring it never feels cloying. Layers of dried fruit, honey, and a gentle minerality from the vineyard’s slate soil round out the palate, culminating in a long, harmonious finish that speaks to the wine’s exceptional balance and evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Nicholson Wine Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45827584393451,"sku":"4022214104011","price":52.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/7146\/6141\/files\/Loosen-Auslese.png?v=1726771077"},{"product_id":"dr-loosen-riesling-spatlese-erdener-treppchen-2003","title":"Dr. Loosen Riesling Spatlese Erdener Treppchen 2003","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Spätlese\" is a predicate for quality wines.
