Tasting notes
Clear and matured on the nose, the 1990 Riesling Frederic Emile is not that brilliant, but has purity and a lemon-fresh stoniness. It is pure, piquant and mineral on the palate, intense, and slightly austere but with tension and grip; it has good length, minty flavors, and is vital with grip and good length.

Blossom, milky coffee, and defiantly young citrus fruit. Beeswax, honeycomb and caramel. Dry, fragrant and so well refined. Juicy and refreshing and with phenomenal concentration. (RH)
Great stuff – classic dry Riesling at its peak. Fully mature and even possibly just starting to make the long journey down. Concentrated with its richness tapering to a dry finish. (JR)
Magnum. Dense and lively and smoky. Young, dry and very lively. Racy. Tight and very limey. (JR)
