von Simmern Riesling Beerenauslese Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen 1999

Germany
(17210)

$ 129.95

750ml

In stock, 4 available  

Winegrowing at the Langwerth von Simmern estate predates the arrival of Columbus in the New World by a generation, so they've had time to get things right, which they did in the '99 vintage, particularly at the dessert wine level. Deepening in color somewhat at this point, the Hattenheimer Wisselbrunnen B.A. displays fabulous concentration. The botrytised nose is redolent of peach, or apricot, nectar, honey, and tangerine. On the palate it is plump, custardy-rich, yet with surprising acidity for a wine from these rich, loamy soils.
