my opinion of a Vin D'Alsace Riesling I had tonight

[bakadue]

My girlfriend and I had a bottle of '99 Lucien Albrecht, Riesling from the Alsace region of France. I found this to be one of the most disappointing bottles of wine I have drank in some time. Very dry when compared to other Rielsings and not easy to drink. Any experiences, opinions of this wine?
We also drank a bottle of 2000 Louis Jadot, Beaujolais Villages as suggested from innKeeper (it is a friday night). I found this to be quite complex, and exciting in appearance and taste. Experiences and opinions of this wine as well please.
