Aromatically demure, the 2000 Riesling Kessler offers faint scents of earth. Fat and expansive, this medium-bodied wine explodes on the palate with copious quantities of poached, spicy pears. Additionally, it has outstanding balance, freshness, and length. Projected maturity: 2004-2015. Importer: Robert Chadderdon Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 757-8185
