For the extraordinary diversity of great wines that are produced, Muller-Catoir is Germany's greatest estate. Who else achieves such brilliance with not only Riesling, but with Muskateller, Scheurebe, and Rieslaner? Muller-Catoir's 1994s are brilliant wines, as well as the most backward I have tasted from this estate. Their extremely high extract bodes well for future development, as do their magnificently high yet ripe acids. One wine that did not convince me was Muller-Catoir's attempt at making rose from Pinot Noir, the 1994 Haardter Herrenletten Spatburgunder Weissherbst Auslese. It displays an attractive color, and starts off well with some sweet, jammy berry fruit. Although the attack is persuasive, with nice purity and ripeness, the wine becomes weird and disjointed. Those who enjoy kinky wine may get a blast from this funky offering, but I am not one of them. Importer: a Terry Theise Selection, Milton S. Kronheim & Co., Jessup, MD; tel. (410) 724-3369
