This is terrific, as expected for a 2001. It combines power and elegance, sweetness and stony minerality in an exhilarating fashion. Aromatic, pure, and long, it is young but open now. Much better balance than other Merkelbach’s I’ve had, which can veer too much towards the sweet-tropical side at the expense of zest and acidic verve for my tastes.
