1999 Riesling Kastelberg Le Chateau

Explosive, slightly exotic aromas of honey, peach, nuts and spices. Ripe, large-scaled and deeply pitched; less exotic in the mouth than it appears on the nose. Solidly structured riesling, with firm acidity and very good grip. Carrying a bit less residual sugar than the 2000. "This wine was totally shut down a year ago," noted Kreydenweiss.
