"Würzig im Duft, getrocknete Zitronenschale und Kümmel, pfeffrig-schieferwürzige Noten. Im Mund frisch und saftig ansetzend, mit markanter Säure und einer zurückhaltenden Süße, salzige Motive, Spiel und taktile Mineralität, eine fast trocken wirkende Eleganz."

"(2006) Creamy apricot fruit on the nose, with a touch of nut kernel and a little herbal note. Lovely peachy, stone fruit flavours. The palate has a lovely perfumed, peach skin quality with very ripe, sweet, refined fruit, and a real depth of flavour to this wine. Deliciously tangy orangy acidity in a very moreish, beautifully poised finish."

"Sun-drenched yellow-cherry and apricot notes extend from nose to palate in this deeply concentrated yet fresh-fruited spätlese. Zippy and spry, it pulsates with rich, ripe peach and tangerine flavors as well as a smoky, lingering finish. This decadent medium-sweet wine is drinking beautifully now but should hold through 2030. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"Loosen's 2009 spätlese from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr is a lush, medium-bodied wine loaded with honey and peaches. It's superripe and succulent, with a long, fruity finish. Try it with Szechuan dishes, which will buffer the sweetness of the wine while the wine tames some of the heat."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Dr. Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese" from the vintage 2008 on 01.01.2011 with 91 of 100 points.
"Nicely layered, with inviting fusel notes, ripe yellow fruit and honey aromas. Very minerally. Deliciously crisp, juicy and focused with a nicely taut palate. Lovely rich texture, racy and balanced. Medium sweet, with ample flavor depth?stone fruit, hints of guava, citrus and persistent minerality on a long finish."

92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Dr. Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese" from the vintage 2007 on 01.01.2009 with 92 of 100 points.
"A pure expression of Mosel Riesling, with touches of flowershop greens, apple and lime. It's sweet but amply structured, with a core of crisp, juicy fruit and a long finish that echoes hints of honey and slate."

"Despite plenty of honeyed sweetness, this wine's slate-driven minerality and zesty acids and slight touch of CO2 keep it nicely balanced. It's light in body, with crisp lime flavors, making it a great candidate for sipping during the dog days of summer."

"Features apple, pear and citrus flavors on a lithe, sweet frame. It would score higher, but for a slight note of grapefruit-pith bitterness on the honey-laden finish. Imported by Loosen Bros. USA."

"This offering from Loosen manages to combine great minerality?an almost palpable sense of rock dust?with terrific fruit. Ripe apples and candied pineapple are sweet, but nicely balanced by crisp acids."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Dr. Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese" from the vintage 2001 on 01.01.2003 with 88 of 100 points.
"This is ripe and sweet fruit, with a yeasty overtone and flavors of soft, white peaches. It is an immediately attractive wine with a well-judged touch of acidity to balance. ?R.V."
