Tasted at home with friends at my annual DECADEnt dinner, where every wine served has its vintage ending in the same as the current year, so this year all vintages ending in “1”. I wanted to include a 2001 white in the tasting, so a riesling from the Mosel was an obvious choice. Still very fresh in the glass. Only light petrol on the nose, so I liked it all the more. Complex. Medium finish. Definitely a food wine and went well with the asparagus I served as starter.

Medium lemon, green hints. Medium intensity aromas - lime, green apple, kerosene, honey, white blossom. Developing. Medium (+) acidity, medium dry, low alcohol, very light body, very mineral palate, long finish. Sweetness well balanced by the acidity. Unlikely to get any better. Drink up.

Belies its 20 years' age, quite fresh and limey, a little bit on the simple side. Good match for a duck and chicken terrine.

Super and highly typical. Petrol nose, racy acidity, lifted, dry finish, great length. At peak?
