Spring onions are intermingled with minerals in the aromatics of the light to medium-bodied 2000 Riesling Mandelberg. Medium-bodied and concentrated, this complex wine is jam-packed with mineral and herbal tea flavors. It is muscular yet gorgeously elegant with a long, flavorful finish. Projected maturity: 2004-2014. The youthful Jean-Christophe Bott, this winery's winemaker and director, believes 2000 "is not an exceptional vintage, yet is outstanding. The last extraordinary year we had was 1990. That being said, the 2000s all have beautiful richness of fruit and some have excellent acidity."Importer: European Cellars, Eric Solomon, Charlotte, NC; tel.
