The aromatically rich, mineral-scented 1999 Riesling Schoenenbourg is medium to full-bodied and silky-textured. It is a complex, plump, raspberry, stone, flint, and mineral-flavored wine. This broad, big, and expressive offering also possesses a long, fruit-filled finish. It is an outstanding offering that should be drunk over the next 7-8 years.
