While I tend to like aged Riesling very much and this producer and particular wine should be great after 10 years in bottle, this wine is not showing all that well in my opinion. There is plenty to be happy about with petrol and flowery notes and a rich palate, but there his also a certain bitterness and signs of oxidation that make it less than stellar. Nice, but not great.

Light honey coloured. Delicious aromas of ripe pineapple, pakistani mango and tropical fruit juice. The taste is mature and nicely developed with yellow fruits. Medium + body with a fine, oily mouth feeling. Slightly sweet-ish with 9,1 g res. sugar and moderate acidity

(Weingut Josef Leitz Rüdesheimer Berg Roseneck Riesling Großes Gewächs) Very light yellow color; tart apple, tart pear nose; tart apple, tart pear palate; medium finish
(Leitz Rüdesheimer Berg Roseneck Riesling "Katerloch") ($42.00) A micro-parcel in the Roseneck, this is the “Alte Reben” of the past vintages; Johannes is tired of the frequency with which Alte Reben is used. This is the Big Boy of the dry Rosenecks, steelier but not steely; vertical, firmer, more taut, more overtly mineral, and more dry-feeling; its complexity is (currently) more inscrutable; there’s greater length, more fond and spiciness, and more power in general. +(+)
