Tasting notes
The 1995 Riesling Frederic Emile has ripe peach fruit aromas, and is spicy, coolish, mineral, very precise and fresh. Very mineral, pure, fresh, and piquant with a great salinity and tension; it is firm and grippy, still very young with tension.

Beginning to unfurl. Definitely less concentrated than the 1998 or 1997. Quite floral and delicate wine produced from this difficult, rainy vintage. Clean, lime flavours. Relatively lean but certainly great long finish. (JR)
The beguiling 1995 Riesling Frederic-Emile exhibits a profound nose of minerals, chalk, granite, and citrus fruits that leads to a highly-nuanced, medium-to-full-bodied character. Massively powerful layers of rocks, pears, candied limes, and minerals are found in this rich, fabulously dense offering. Additionally, it is focused, hugely concentrated, and possesses an exceptionally long finish. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2012. Wine Advocate.June, 1999
Deeper-pitched nose shows less citricity and a more dominant stone and petrol character. Still holding a good bit of gas. From a lower crop level than the '96 and perhaps even more concentrated than that wine, but this can't match the '96 for purity and penetration of flavor.
