Smoky, flinty nose reminded me of pinot gris; certainly showing more Rangen terroir than riesling typicity today. Big, rich, layered and deep; dry and backward (even the high-acid `96 was more exuberant at this stage). Densely built and powerfully structured for aging. Very long, slow-building finish. This is better than the 1990 Rangen Riesling, says Olivier. Just 5 g/l r.s.Stephen Tanzer1st July 1999
