Score 95/100 · Drink 2009-2025, Pierre Rovani, Oct 2002

The 2001 Riesling Auslese Norheimer Dellchen exhibits aromas reminiscent of spicy onions and minerals. Candied red berries (always a sign of superb ripeness when found in a Riesling), stones, and chamomile can be discerned in this medium to full-bodied offering's lush, intricate character. This muscular, velvety-textured wine regales the palate with persistent waves of fruit whose flavors linger in its exceptional finish. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2025. Helmut Donnhoff approached the 2001 vintage much as Reggie Jackson would have reacted to facing a fast ball down the middle thrown by a Junior Varsity pitcher in the bottom of the ninth of the last game of the World Series. Donnhoff hit a towering, grand slam home run of majestic proportions. His 2001s are extraordinary. Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
