Honeyed peaches, apricots, warm brioche bread with honeycomb and petrol. Loads of flowers..camomile and geranium, honeysuckle and iris all shine through. The residual sugar is there and that's undeniable and expected, but the acid comes through and coats everything making a balanced, beautiful finish. 2001 vintage that still shows plenty of youth!

Quite rich and long. Still drinks young, showing loads of petrol, green apples, honey, and a rich, coating, and enveloping mouthfeel.

Open for 5 days and still hanging around last night so we drained it too. Best on days 2 & 3, good value Auslese that worked with Thai curry and lemon bars. Nothing too spectacular though. The Kabinetts from this lot were the best wines. Not ***
