The three cuvees of Mann's Riesling I tasted were impressive. The 1995 Riesling Furstentum is the most ostentatious of the trio. Copious quantities of tropical fruit, licorice, and minerals burst from this exotic wine's aromatics. Made from extremely tiny yields, with 14.5% alcohol, this full-bodied, terrifically well-endowed, dry, refined Riesling is a real head-turner. The nose refuses to fade no matter how much aeration the wine receives. This wine represents a dazzling example of the heights Riesling can achieve in such top Alsatian vineyards. Sadly, a minuscule ten cases were imported to the United States. Anticipated maturity: now-2007.I do not think anyone who follows the underrated white wines of Alsace would argue that Albert Mann is one of that beautiful region's brightest stars. His 1995s are exceptionally successful, especially his cuvees of Pinot Blanc, Riesling, and Tokay-Pinot Gris.Importer: Peter Weygandt, Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel (610) 932-2745
