(Leitz Rüdesheimer Berg Schlossberg Riesling "Ehrenfels") ($55.00) This seems a little sweeter and also a little more tart; it’s certainly more emphatically mineral, with a pinch of acidity but it shows as a jalapeño jab rather than a tooth-clenching sharpness, all riding over a wave of sweet hay, lees and casky umami. Fascinating embryo here; can’t wait to see what happens.
