What IK said.

I've tasted a couple of them, and they were in the higher alcohol range. The problem isn't so much the alcohol but the balance. Something not-so-wonderful seems to happen to Riesling fruit character when it meets with high alcohol. That is partly why Alsatian Rieslings are so different from their German counterparts, which of course once were their German brethren, but that's another story...
