1999 Joh. Jos. Christoffel Erben Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Auslese**

After lovely aromas of fresh strawberry and pear, this comes onto the palate with a pleasantly sharp nip of cress and slate. That pleasant bite, plus a generous supply of CO2, help keep this soft wine lively. A "one-star" Wurzgarten Auslese represented a small increase in amplitude and richness without more flavor interest.
