All of thex000D grapes achieved Spatlese must weight here this year, even by the estatex000D stringent standards. "Butx000D something I have never seen before," reports Christoph Tyrell, "wasx000D sugars going up while the acids simply did not go down.x000D We just had to wait.x000D It was quite peculiar, really.x000D Eventually, though, they began to drop andx000D we began harvesting on October 21." x000D And there was time to wait. x000D Indeed, Tyrell says he wishes he could every year have the opportunityx000D for strategizing that he enjoyed in 2001. x000D Since the harvest was late, the wines fermented at very coldx000D temperatures, which, Tyrell cautions, brought stubborn retention of CO2and fermentative flavors that made a few of his 2001s difficult to assess inx000D August.
