Kimich's 1993s are well-made wines, but they merit slightly lower scores than previous vintages. They are all off-dry, elegant, less concentrated wines than I have seen from Kimich in other top vintages. The two finest Spatlese examples include the Forster Pechstein Riesling Spatlese, a dense, off-dry, richly fruity, cherry/peach/earth-flavored wine, and the Forster Ungeheuer Riesling Spatlese, a medium-bodied, mineral-dominated, classy wine with crisp acidity and an intriguing, wet stone-like component. All of these wines should be drunk over the near term as they do not appear to have the extract Kimich has obtained in other vintage. Importer: Chapin Cellars, Virginia Beach, VA; tel.

For whatever reason, Kimich's two Spatlese offerings were not as impressive his other offerings. The 1992 Forster Ungeheuer Riesling Spatlese's light, lean, austere, ungenerous personality is disappointing. One of my favorite German producers, Kimich fashions personality-filled, lavishly fruity, sometimes exotic wines with intense bouquets and flavors. Most of his 1992 offerings are successful.
