Helmut Lang 1999 Beerenauslese Gewürztraminer (Neusiedlersee)

Price $35

The aromas of this wine are dominated by rich spice, like Turkish Delight. The palate is soft and unctuous, with big spice flavors and a layer of dryness. This is an unusual wine, with rich spice rather than sweetness. — R.V. (11/1/2002)

points

Helmut Lang 1999 TBA Chardonnay (Neusiedlersee)

Price $35

Very rich and sweet, with toasty elements and some spice. This Chardonnay is an exotic wine, with cinnamon flavors as well as sweetness. Just lacks the extra edge of acidity to give it distinction. — R.V. (11/1/2002)

points

Helmut Lang 1999 Beerenauslese Samling 88 White (Neusiedlersee)

Price $35

Aromas of acidity and sweet fruits are immediately appealing. On the palate, there is a level of tension between tannins, sweetness and acidity that gives it great attraction. It lacks complexity, but is delicious. — R.V. (11/1/2002)

points

Helmut Lang 1998 TBA Rheinriesling Riesling (Neusiedlersee)

Price $35

Hedgerow fruit is heavily aromatic with thick texture and layers of sweetness. This is a rich, concentrated, syrupy wine, with aromatic fruit, but it lacks acidity for balance. — R.V. (11/1/2002)

points

Helmut Lang 2000 Beerenauslese Sauvignon Blanc (Neusiedlersee)

Aromas of quince and a palate of sweet, toffee flavors make this a rich wine, with flavors of fig jelly. But it is unbalanced due to its almost total lack of acidity. — R.V. (11/1/2002)

points

Helmut Lang 1997 Eiswein Cuvee White (Neusiedlersee)

Price $38

There are intense aromas of vanilla and sweet fruits, while the palate is light and rather undefined, with some caramel flavors. It is opulently sweet, but one-dimensional. — R.V. (11/1/2002)
