  I read the pro reviews and feel quite inadequate. What, after all, does pulverized slate smell like? For me, I get basically grapefruit -- tart and bitter -- with a suggestion of peach, maybe apricot and green herbs. It has some toasty flavor, like oak, which dissipates into the fruit with some air. Texture-wise, it reminds me oddly of chardonnay, albeit with more acid cut; it's rounder and lusher than I expected, yet still with a basic delicacy that's quite lovely. Intensity without density: I should put that on a bumper sticker. This is my first German dry riesling (I've had plenty of sweeter German riesling and plenty of dry Austrian riesling), and it was quite nice.

  Nice Riesling. Earth scents. Wet rocks. Wet clam shells. Pineapple and lemon rind. Rubber hose smell. Quite dry. Nice acidity. Paired well with hummus and vegetables

  Rheingau - visiting Leitz & Breuer (Rudesheim): {cork, 12.5%, €38, AP 63.17} 20 years on these vines, so they’re not that old. This wine is all grey, beside its siblings. Maybe some apple aroma & flavour, but all granite and slate. The palate is dry (obviously), but with flavours of roses, flint, herbs. It’s very strange really. All structure; full-bodied for Riesling, with medium/high acid, and medium/long finish. But still nebulous at this age. Partly formed only; come back in a decade.
