Score 96/100 · Drink 2005-2020, Pierre Rovani, Jun 2000
Hugely intense mineral and floral aromas burst from the 1998 Riesling "Hugel" Selection de Grains Nobles' glass. This magnificently complex wine coats the taster's palate with unending layers of sweetened Earl Grey tea (a bergamot-infused tea), white fruits, flowers, raspberries, and other assorted red berries. This magnificently concentrated and powerful SGN is well-balanced, elegant, and refined. Projected maturity: 2005-2020. (Not yet released) Importer: Frederick Wildman & Sons, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700.
