Decanted. Took about 30 min - 1 h to get going. Aromas of apples, ripe pineapples, spices, and herbs. Palate is similar with ripe pineapples, apples, and a hint of spice. Very nice acids give balance to the ripe fruit. Medium bodied. Nice moderately long finish. Delicious and crushable but was looking for more complexity. While this is only my second Leitz with some age, I'm beginning to think that I prefer Leitz's wines in their youth that have more liveliness.

London Wine Fair - day three (London): Very floral at first with notes of apples, petrol. Sweetness coming through but a short finish. Decent, average.

Apples, quince marmalade, rock dust, cream, butterscotch. Very good but not quite great.
