1999 Prinz von Hessen
Winkeler Hasensprung Gheingau [Germany] Riesling Spatlese
Score: 93.0
"Fabulous - silky smooth, expansive, medium bodied, apricot, peach nectar, moderate spice and a long satisfying finish. Perfectly balanced and sweet enough that it can be served with pound cake, candied walnuts, or enjoyed all by itself."

Serriger Schloss Saarsteiner Mosel-Saar-Ruwer [Germany] Riesling Spatlese

Rheingau [Germany] Riesling Rotlack Kabinett
Score: 91.0
"Floral and fruity, the Schloss Johannisberger is a dry, multi-faceted Riesling loaded with tart green apple fruit and mineral notes. What taste descriptions cannot convey is the amazing complexity of this wine. "

1999 Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt
Piesporter Goldtropfchen Mosel-Saar-Ruwer [Germany] Riesling Kabinett
Score: 85.0
" Mildly sweet appley fruit, spritzy and very well-balanced, it seems almost dry on the mid-palate. The finish is a bit short, but otherwise this is a nicely made wine."

Mosel-Saar-Ruwer [Germany] Riesling
Score: 90.0

|
1999 Grans-Fassian
Trittenheimer Alarchen [Germany] Riesling Kabinett
Score: 90.0
" Like the most impossibly ripe apple, with an edge of apricot and citrus, broad and barely sweet, aromatic, slightly spritzy, medium-bodied and altogether inviting. Hints of honey and mineral surface in the nose and the finish. Classy."

Forster Pfalz [Germany] Riesling Kabinett
Score: 88.0
"A fine, penetrating Riesling that offers intense fruit flavors and mineral notes, as well as mouthwatering sweetness, all balanced by crisp acidity and a bit of spritz. Powerful finish. Serve with equally flavorful foods like stroganoff, or sausage with sauerkraut. "

1998 WWe. Dr. H. Thanisch
Bernkasteler Badstube Mosel-Saar-Ruwer [Germany] Riesling Kabinett
Score: 89.9
"If you can imagine a sweet green apple flavor coupled with celery, youd have a good idea of how this wine tastes. Harder to convey is its clean, balanced character. "

Rheingau [Germany] Vogelsang Riesling Kabinett
Score: 87.0
"Slightly sweet and spritzy, with good balancing acidity, this is a perfect aperitif- zesty, with a floral nose that comes at you in waves, and flavors of honeysuckle and apricot. A real crowd-pleaser."

1998 PJV
Wormser Liebrauenstift-Kirchestuck [Germany] Riesling Trocken
Score: 83.0
"A bone dry Riesling with a lot of mineral character, a bit austere on the mid-palate, but with a pleasant nose and long minerally finish. A good wine to pair with seafood drizzled with lemon juice."
