Faint gold color. Lovely aromas of green apples and spices with a hint of petrol. Still has brisk acidity with a smooth finish and moderate sweetness which now is more akin to a Spatlese than an Auslese. This was a crowd pleaser.

AP 11 02. Moderate yellow. This has an initial touch of swimming pool aroma and some fine acid smells. It's nice to reflect back upon a time when wines weren't picked at the maximum ripeness they could achieve. This is clean and pretty, with burnished creamy pears and while it has years left to it, the interplay between acidity and sweetness is charming right now.

This absolutely delicious and going strong. Golden color is followed by an energetic nose of apricot, stone and raw honey. A touch of citrus zest. The sweetness has given way to a medium bodied off dry wine that is full of extract. Complete. This is just wonderful and has a long life ahead. (94)

Not the most complex 2001. But just a very yummy example in a good spot. Well integrated flavors but not that long of a finish.
