Tasting notes
The densely layered 2001 Riesling Auslese Erdener Pralat (Gold Capsule) has intense smoky, honeyed aromas. Pear syrup imbued with slate and minerals are intermingled with red berries and kumquats in this medium-bodied, rich, thick wine. Concentrated, powerful, and deep, it appears to have the muscle of a Beerenauslese. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020. Importers: Classic Wine Imports, Boston, MA; tel.

Full and quite sweet. Decidedly embryonic at this stage. Not the most winning sample at this infant stage of evolution. (JR)
