In recent years I have used this wine as a sort of barometer for the upcoming vintage. This is my first experience with the '03 Germans. I am aware of claims that it may be a legendary vintage. The nose has a mild sulfer smell but dominated by citrus (grapefruit), apple, pear with hints of flowers and wet stones. Off-dry in the mouth the wine is initially structured and concentrated but seems lacking in zip (acidity). Still, quite enjoyable and balanced. Day 2 the wine seems better in terms of fruit/acidity balance but still not on par with the '01 version, for example. Is this a bad thing? It was tasty.
