The 1999 Riesling Spatlese Trocken Rudesheimer Roseneck offers smoky minerals and stones in its aromatic profile. Light to medium-bodied, and well-made, this wine exhibits excellent richness and breadth to its dry personality. Pure and crystalline flavors of tangy lemon drops and rocks can be discerned in its personality. Importer: David Shiverick, Langdon-Shiverick, Cleveland, OH; tel. (216) 861-6800.
