Tasting notes
The fresh pear and mineral-scented 1999 Riesling Clos Windsbuhl is a lace-like, light to medium-bodied wine. On the palate, it exhibits flowers, minerals, and spices in its rich, broad character. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524

Complex, cool aromas of herbs, flowers, licorice and lime. Dense, deep and dry; really chewy and tactile. More complex and less sweet than the Heimbourg. Lovely juicy intensity and excellent persistence. This riesling fermented for nearly a year.
