Alsace Blanc - 1986

Very good year for Rieslings, from which Seppi Landmann produces a superb, delicate Zinnkoepflé grand cru. A clear, brilliant colour, and a very mineral nose on white flowers and anise herald a lively, spicy mouth. The whole is more elegant than opulent, and magnificently balanced.

Rhone - 1986

Overall quality of the vintage: often mediocre. Some supple and concentrated wines, but also many dull, soulless wines, now past their best.
