While the 1992 Mussbacher Eselshaut Riesling Kabinett Halbtrocken is well-knit, rich, long, and dry, with lovely ripeness and length, the wine is overwhelmed when tasted beside the 1992 Gimmeldinger Mandelgarten Riesling Spatlese Halbtrocken. Muller-Catoir is Germany's most fashionable winemaker, enjoying a position among connoisseurs much like that of such illustrious French winemakers as Jean-Francois Coche-Dury, Comte Lafon, Michel Niellon, and Olivier and Leonard Humbrecht. Muller-Catoir's aromatic wines are undoubtedly super-ripe and multi-dimensional, as well as exceptionally complex. Most importantly, they are delicious! Not surprisingly, Muller-Catoir excelled in the 1992 vintage, with two of the firm's sweeter cuvees approaching perfection. A Terry Theise Estate Selection, imported by Milton S.
