90 David Schildknecht - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2004 Riesling Les Ecaillers offers a lovely and intriguing nose of lime, peach, fruit pit bitterness, faintly fusil notes, and marine, chalk and wet stone mineral inflections. Unabashedly dry, citric, as well as mineral in the mouth, it nevertheless exhibits an almost lush richness of texture, finishing with refreshing lift and an impressively long reprise of lime, peach, cherry stone and 'just (not-so-) plain' stone. This is a joy to drink now but can be held for a dozen or more years. (I have a lot of satisfying experience with bottles of Les Ecaillers at even older ages, not just chez Beyer but also from my own imperfect cellars.)"
