The 1999 Riesling Mandelberg exhibits liquid mineral aromas and a rich, fat, yet focused character. Loads of detail can be found in its herbal tea, bergamot, flint, and verbena-flavored personality, as well as in its exceedingly long finish. This is a medium to full-bodied wine with a satin texture and a highly expressive character. Drink it over the next 8-9 years. Importers: European Cellars (Eric Solomon), New York, NY; tel.
