Alfred Merkelbach

It is nox000D slight to the Merkelbach brothers to note that they are most successful whenx000D nature offers healthy fruit with strong acidity, because extreme selectivityx000D within parcels is not a major part of their harvest regimen.x000D Such optimal material is exactly what fatex000D held in store this year, making this estate a source for numerous excellentx000D 2001s offering good value. The range ofx000D Oechsle from the least Spatlese to the ripest Auslese is only around tenx000D degrees. On paper, the acid levels herex000D are not extreme (all around eight grams per liter) but these are vivid,x000D efficacious acids and most of the wines seem drier than their analyses orx000D Pradikats would lead you to expect. x000D Several wines seemed trapped behind a shell, but I suspect they will inx000D a short time emerge and join their more expressive brethren.x000D (Terry Theise)Also recommended: 2001 Urzigerx000D Wurzgarten Riesling Spatlese Halbtrock A.P. #8, 2001 Urziger Wurzgartenx000D Riesling Spatlese A.P. #11 ($17), 2001 Urziger Wurzgarten Auslese #20 ($20).
