A 2004 Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Kabinett, from the site in which the Loosen winery is situated, offers typical black cherry along with grapefruit and mint in the nose. Seamless and polished on the palate as well as infectiously juicy and refreshing, it manages to handle a large load of residual sugar without losing mineral definition and luscious finishing citricity.
