Medium gold colour. Medium (+) and developing nose with petroleum, ripe green apples, wax, acacia honey, ripe lemon, walnuts, mushrooms, cinnamon and wet stone. Medium (+) taste of ripe green apples, acacia honey, mushrooms, cinnamon, walnuts, papaya, peach, apricot, wax and wet stone. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. A very good and well matured Riesling Trocken with good acidity. Needed half an hour to open. Drink now or over the next couple of years. Goes well with cheeses or sushi.

I didn't really note the particulars but just drank it with great pleasure with fillets of turbot and various vegetables, some of which might have made a chablis ill at ease, thinking that it is really a long time since I have had a white burgundy of such quality: harmony, balance, body and the sheer excitement of the German riesling acidity.

(Leitz Rüdesheimer Berg Rottland Riesling "Hinterhaus") ($49.00) Micro-parcel in the Rottland. Johannes admits he underwent a time he wanted to make a big seething Wachau wine from here, you know, one of those 15% alc beasts. Thankfully he’s outgrown this (as for the most part have the Austrians), and he’s now doing an even more difficult and wonderful thing: showing how much stuffing and intensity one can cram into a wine with moderate alcohol. This is like a veal chop brined in porcini jus, leathery and robust, big-boned and horizontal and loaded with torque; like some Ukrainian body-builder pulling a 737 with a shoulder-rope. Yet after hours the guy dances brilliantly. Maybe Germany’s most improbable dry Riesling, or at least spirit-kin to those heroic Saumagens from Koelher-Ruprecht. +
