  [Pop and pour.] A sweet floral nose explodes from the glass. This is a gorgeous sweet wine with perfect balance and harmony. Complex, with a long finish of peaches, apricots, and kumquats.

  From half bottle. This is in a wonderful place right now where the fruit's still remarkably fresh and vibrant, but it's also showing an array of more savoury smoky and creamy development. So much complexity and depth here, and impeccable balance with those vibrant '01 acids balancing the richness and sweetness perfectly. Even though this bottle had a frail cork and showed some light signs of seepage, there's lots of time ahead.

  Singing straight from the bottle. Mango, pineapple, dried apricot, peaches, enough sugar to manage a moderately sweet dessert, lovely acidity still. This is a great example of perfect auslese.

  Golden color and rich honeyed nose. So luscious to drink, shows some maturity but is holding up great and has plenty of acidity to carry on for years.
