Dopff & Irion 2001 Grand Cru Schoenenbourg Riesling

Dopff & Irion 2004 Les Murailles Riesling

An intense, fruity wine, with concentrated steely, stony flavors. Initially austere, it opens into fine, ripe aromas. But it remains on the dry, crisp side, a definite food wine. Needs 2–3 years of aging.
