Hi Dale Hope you don't mind if I tell you the correct spelling is "smörgåsbord" :-)


...2002 Darting Ungsteiner Herrenberg Spätlese.

Mhm, seems we both have a liking for the 2001 Spätleses :-)


2002 is good, though - but somehow the 2001 Spätleses generally are the best I've ever had (since 1976) - maybe equalled with 1959 - but I was too young then... Anders

Not at all. Even Allchars doesn't help when I can't remember where the diacriticals go!

I've heard more than one person (with more German experience than myself) say that 2001 was a truly great Spätlese vintage. The ripeness and balanced acidity led to some great wines (moreso in Spätlesen than say the dessert wines). Do you have a regional preference in the 2001s? Middle Mosel seemed to be the top, but most regions did well. Dale
