I am happy to report that the Heyl '97s, which still pleased me little when I retasted them this year, are surpassed by the 1998 collection. Notable in the new vintage is the high quality of its lower-priced wines. Marcus Ahr and winemaker Michael Burgdorf have perpetuated former owner Peter von Weymarn's tradition of long lees contact and relatively late blending and bottling. Partly in consequence of this, I was not able to taste certain wines-notably the Pettenthal Spatlese and Oelberg Auslese. (Valckenberg)
