I tasted three Rieslings from Bott-Geyl, all top-notch efforts. The 1995 Riesling Riquewihr displays a big, spicy, citrusy, floral, apple, and mineral-scented nose, outstanding ripeness, medium body, and a dry, crisp, vibrant finish. While it is the most developed of the trio, it will last for 5-8 more years. Bott-Geyl has become one of Alsace's most fashionable young wine producers. Three consistent characteristics of these wines are 1) purity and concentration, 2) multi-layered textures - the result of extended lees contact for 10-12 months, and 3) faithful interpretation of each varietal's characteristics. The wines reviewed in this segment performed exceptionally well, and, for their quality, are reasonably-priced. Importer: David Hinkle, North Berkeley Imports, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 848-8910.
