Cloudy and orange, with interesting notes of nutmeg and raw carrot on the nose. Extremely refreshing on the palate, with a nice, slight astringency from the tannins. Acidity is relatively low, yet well balanced, and there is a floral exuberance from the Gewurz, which almost lends a hint of sweetness on the finish. I am slowly coming to the view that Gewurz makes the most interesting orange wines.

Light gold core. Peach and apple on the nose. Palate is much heftier than the nose might suggest: medium-bodied, quite sweet, but with an unexpectedly crisp backbone of acidity. Clearly an unusual vintage, but very nice indeed.

Deep golden core. Amazing nose of pure peach and apricot. Medium-sweet, wonderfully rich and concentrated, yet built on a steely core of acidity that keeps everything in impeccable balance. The 2001s continue to impress. This is utterly beautiful.
