Score 93/100 · Drink 2005-2015, Pierre Rovani, Dec 2001

The 1999 Riesling Schlossberg Cuvee Sainte Catherine l'Inedit! has a sumptuous, liquid mineral-laced nose. This wine has superb concentration, richness, depth, and length. Layers of candied apples, poached pears, spices, and bergamots (the pear-shaped orange that is used to flavor Earl Grey tea) are found throughout this gem's character. Its sultry quinine-infused finish appears dry, yet conceals 21 grams of residual sugar. Projected maturity: 2005-2015. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802

Superripe, rot-ennobled aromas of honey and apricot. Very smooth and suave, with moderately sweet, honeyed flavors that are extremely rich but not at all cloying thanks to strong underlying acidity. Finishes very long and powerful but not hot. This is more accessible in its youth than the regular Schlossberg Cuvee Ste. Catherine, no doubt due to its 19 g/l r.s.
