Sweet aromatics of custard apple and powdered lime. Great spine, great focus, great clarity, a solid 9 on the Richter scale. A wine that nearly caused a vinous seismic shift as traditional white Burg drinkers at the table went gaga over this.

This wine was a clear pale straw color. When poured it was quite spritzy and a layer of bubbles actually formed over the entire wine. The nose, while much more aromatic than any of the other whites, was restrained when compared to other 2001 Germans in my opinion. I also detected some soapy aromas. There was quite a bit of stone fruit notes in the wine and the sweetness level would have indicated a higher quality level if I did not know better. Medium bodied. 88-89 points.
