A nice start to the evening. On the low end of the sweetness range for an Spatlese but nice structure and good finish.

WOW, what a change from the Spatlese. Thick and rich in the glass. Turning a darker shade of gold already. Flavors tended towards rich fruits such as peaches. Amazingly complex flavors and long finish.

great, but in a completely different way than the '01. Noticibly lighter color, more citrus on the nose and palate

Interesting follow-up. Had almost a carbonated ginger ale lightness to it. Light color in the glass. Sweeter, lighter and sharper on the palate. A clean short finish, not a lingerer. Karen and Carrie both agreed this was their favorite of the two Spatlese

First in the Cab flight, had the tough job of following the Reislings. Lots of tannins, somewhat bitter, least favorite of the cabs

a real surprise. Great concentration and weight, brooding, rich dark fruit.

extra bottle age noticable after the two 01's. Lighter red fruit flavors, cherry and raspberry, spice. More subtle elegence than fruit bomb.

Purchased from winebid, so apparently lucky it wasn't cooked like some others.

Very young and strong. bracing acidity and tannins. Needs more time but may turn into something special.

memory fading fast at this point. Again, noticibly more balanced and approachable than the Woodward Canyon at this early point in their lives.

Corked - damn
