Following so many outstanding past successes (including surely the top riesling of the '96 vintage), Knoll hasn't disappointed in '97. Not only is his a collection of extraordinary subtlety and concentration, it also an unusually forward, youthfully expressive group of wines for this house. As I left the tasting, I couldn't help wondering: could this magnificent group of wines improve over their first year in bottle as have other recent Knoll vintages?
