Léonard Humbrecht's last vintage, and such a contrast to what was to come afterward. It's all here -- tremendous depth and energy to go with the smokiness from the volcanic soils, and great liveliness -- this wine can still go another 25 years. Truly fabulous example of one of the many aspects of Riesling.

lighter in color and more reserved than the '89 enjoyed on the same day. this took a full hour+ to open up and reveal its charms. it drank fantastically throughout the evening, gaining complexity, richness and minerality with each sip.
