Dr.Loosen and Villa Wolf: In the beginning reductive nose of terpentine and brake grease (others said - cabbage). With air ir developped into red currant leaves, definetely intresting and enjoyable. Mild, round palate of nuggat and sweet cream, it had a distinctive creaminess on the palate and it seemed that also on the nose. Rather light body, well balanced. Long finish. Excellent.

Lovely exotic fruity nose with a surprising hint of botrytis. Lovely palate, still fruit-dominated but with lots of substance and minerality. Youthful sweetness still. Good long finish. A great success and should last another decade.

This had great concentration still and was an impressive wine to drink, the only negative was that it was a tad too sweet, especially when tasted side by side with an 07 Ch Ste Michelle / Loosen Eroica Washington St Riesling. I know it's apples and oranges as far as terroir, but the Loosen came off as cloying next to the more Kabinett styled NW wine. I really enjoyed the notes of apricot and peach and hints of mango, some tea leaf and cloves as well. Nice wine overall and a great bargain at $15.

Year End Euro-Themed Lunch (Donato Enoteca, Redwood City, CA): Very light color. Soft, fresh. Good minerality. Lychees, apples, pears, citrus. Nice sweetness.
