The 1999 Riesling Riquewihr exhibits intense mineral and herbal tea aromas. A Riesling for those who don't particular love this varietal, it is a silky-textured, light to medium-bodied wine with lush pear and apple flavors. Those who crave this varietal's generally linear and highly focused characteristics should shy away from this plump, straightforward wine. Drink it over the next 5 years.
