Restrained aromas of creamed oranges are found in the 1997 Muscat Reserve. As Mme. Collette Faller, this domaine's charming matriarch, said, "this is a Muscat whose mouth holds the promises made by the nose." Powerful layers of tangerine-imbued minerals coat the taster's palate in this full-throttle wine. It is medium-to-full-bodied, intensely expressive, and silky-textured. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.Since Laurence Faller took over the winemaking duties at Domaine Weinbach (1993/94) there have been marked stylistic changes to the wines. They remain extremely well-made, rich, and concentrated yet are less generous in their youth than under the former winemaker's regime. I am, however, convinced that the wines presently being produced at this famed estate will be longer-lived than those from the past.Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel (205) 980-8802.
