MNB: Riesling and RS II (Home (Noe st)): (blind) Pale gold color - almost coppery. Reductive nose, with some playdough resemblance. Dryish - maybe 4g RS. (on re-tasting, it feels more like 8-10 - actually 12g). 13% alcohol, high acid, slightly hot on the finish. Neutral and stony. GG - super mineral.
Final call: 2016 GG Mosel, $35 (a bit lower quality than the others). Actual: Leitz berg kaisersteinfels, 2016, around $45, 7g (or 12g) RS (tech sheets are inconsistent) - 12% alcohol, Grosse Lage, 6.9g/L Acid Analysis: My RS call was off.
Same winemaking as the other Leitz.

With texture and elegance, power, grace, that good stuff. A little tight Bill notes but it is there for sure.
