  This is a killer 2001, with lovely, intense scents of slate, honey, lime and cantelope. The palate is packed with gripping acidity and lots of glorious sweetness. Somehow, it's not heavy at all, almost like an old school spatlese in weight. Not particularly complex (though that distinctive cantelope note is cool), but gutsy, long and lovely. Drinking great now.
  
  Too bad this is gone from the marketplace, I'm sure it was a great bargain on release.
