Tasting notes
The spectacular 1990 Riesling Clos Windsbuhl Vendange Tardive offers a straw color tinted with hues of gold. It boasts profound honeyed quince aromas and has a massively rich, opulent, mouth-coating character. At ten years of age, this medium-to-full-bodied, powerful, well-balanced wine is beginning to "absorb" its residual sugar (25.8 grams per liter) and its exotic fruit-flavored personality is starting to reveal pure, candied lemons and minerals flavors. This magnificent, velvety-textured wine can be drunk over the next 15-20 years.

The 1990 Riesling Clos Windsbuhl's compelling fragrance of slate and honeyed oranges, the deep, multi-dimensional, layered flavors suggestive of tropical fruits, cherries, and apples, and the spicy, magnificently long, crisp finish are exquisite. This profound, super-concentrated, dry Riesling will last for 15 or more years. Although quantities are limited, this wine is a must purchase if you are a Riesling lover. Importer: Wine Markets International, Woodbury, NY.
