Produced from the estate's oldest parcel, planted in 1946, immediately after World War II, the 2000 Riesling Sommerberg L31D is a dramatic effort. Its gorgeous aromatics reveal spices intermingled with minerals and chamomile tea. Medium to full-bodied, it expands to reveal amazing breadth, magnificent harmony, and an intensely flavored, spiced mineral-dominated character. This wine's exceptional depth, balance, and length augur a long, rewarding ageworthiness. Projected maturity: 2004-2020. Importer: Robert Chadderdon Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 757-8185
