Description of the wine Riesling Herrenweg de Turckheim 1999
The average old age of these vines and the warm and precocious terroir of the Herrenweg always bring out the aromatic intensity and elegance in the Herrenweg wines. The 1999 is very ripe and shows some botrytis. The nose is therefore intense with strong fruity, ripe exotic aromas. The palate is already long and very open. This precocious character helps appreciating this wine early in its life, but thanks to its acidity it should age quite well.
