90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2002 Riesling Auslese Erdener Pralat sports a nose of candied apples. Light to medium-bodied, creamy-textured, and broad, this wine offers flavors reminiscent of liquid minerals, creamy spices, and poached/spice pears. It is rich, concentrated, and supple. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2025. (PR) (2/2004)

90 points Wine Enthusiast

In contrast to the delicate, ethereal nature of Loosen’s ‘02 Ürziger Würzgarten auslese, this is a plump, rich wine filled with nectarine, honey and lime flavors. Despite a modest finish, this wine has loads of up-front appeal. (8/2004)
