  Ripe with a fair amount of sweetness -- this would have been Spätlese in an earlier era. Pure, almost crystalline apricot fruit that is intense. Outstanding overall balance and still enough acidity. Cellared since original release.

  The nose reveals, lighter more subtle petrol characteristics, ripe golden apple, ripe fleshy pineapple , apricots, marmalade, lemon syrup, grapefruit with pith, honey, beeswax, a little lime candy, white spice, dry stones, yellow lilies and spring flowers.
  
  The body is thick, rich, waxy and a touch syrupy. Dry, pineapple & apricots, golden apple, peach, lemon syrup, lime candy, some green apple, grapefruit with pith, marmalade, orange rind, fruit blossoms, honey, beeswax, soft delicate minerality, very light petrol notes, slate, white spice with yellow lilies and spring flowers. Acidity is round and magnificent. The 09 is in a good place with plenty of life ahead. The rich, lush, well balanced finish is persistent for minutes.
  
  Excellent with spicy Asian food.

  Very light green tinge. Sweet nectarine and slightly bitter honey on the nose. Sweet lemon verbena and solid minerality. A distant hint of effervescence on a soft texture.

  Light color. More lime than orchard fruits and some secondary Riesling tones beginning to creep in. Wonderfully light with great impact of pure fruit and slate finish. Significant sweetness here, but somewhat leavened by the fine acidity and stone. A great end of summer dinner treat.

  Strong gasoline nose. This dissipated quickly, but some hints of it remained. Light wine, with some sweetness. Not my favorite, but the rest of the group liked it, so I declined to rate.
