This was actually a bottle of the 2001 Auslese so it was a tad sweeter than the Spatlese. The wine blew off some typical Mosel petrol to start but opened up a few minutes later with a gorgeous nose of peach cobbler, tropical fruits and white flowers. Impeccably balanced on the palette with medium plus acidity and flavors of ripe Meyer lemon and white peach. 16 year old wine but tastes youthful and fresh. Have one more bottle left but might pick up a couple more.
