Deep copper. Rich nose – and the evidence of 20–30% botrytis. Almost heavy – needs to be drunk with food. Big and muscular! Pungent. (JR)

Pale greenish. (Only half as much botrytis in this vineyard as for Cuvée Frédéric Emile this year.) Very pure fruit. Concentrated and pleasing already on the nose though with a hint of austerity. Grainy, textured, deep on the palate. Slightly toasty character. Massive extract. Bodes well. (JR)
The 1998 Riesling Clos St. Hune is a spectacular wine. It displays a magnificent aromatic purity, with complex herbal, mineral, and crisp pear scents. Medium to full-bodied, and awesomely broad, powerful, and harmonious, this tightly-wound, slate, chalk, lemon-lime, quartz, and cocoa powder-flavored wine is silky-textured and breathtakingly intense. It should be at its peak of maturity between 2006 and 2015+.

Seductive. More classical in style, this Riesling offers intense peach, apple and pine forest aromas and flavors matched to a steely, dry profile. It's understated, yet leaves more to the imagination, teasing with its nuances and sophisticated charms. Drink now through 2010. 700 cases made. WineSpectator.com
