Medium straw. Very bright, fresh and vibrant at twenty years of age with notes of green apple, sugarcane, honeydew melon rind, and quartz-like minerality. Addictively good with Thanksgiving dinner.

Bright light-golden color. Aromas of lime zest, pine nuts, flint smoke, minerality, touch of petrol...fruit moves a little more toward stone fruit and lychee with a few hours of air (and a bit warmer serving temperature). Very bright, almost electrifying acidity. Off-dry to sweet, medium+ weight, impressively long finish. Especially considering the price, this was a remarkably expression Riesling with a little age.

Just beginning to open up and show the greatness that is old Riesling but still fresh and vibrant. Not sure about other tasting notes but this was really enjoyable.

Golden color; nose with slight minerals, slight petrol; palate has excellent medium-plus acidity, but its flavors are lacking with only slight lemon-lime, no persistence through the midpalate; finish is short. Similar to past note and disappointing for an '01, though still enjoyable with a meal. 84
