Glass: Zalto Universal Bottle bought on release. Popped and poured, drunk over three days. Clear, deep golden color. Clean, medium intense, developing nose. Lots of stony mineral notes, stems, mellow apple, blossoms, herbs, anise. Very deep, dense and complex. Dry, medium+, well integrated acidity. Medium tannin and body, 13,5% abv. Flavors of apple, bitter orange and zests, stony mineral notes and surprisingly spicy. Wonderful grip, very dense and deep, good balance. Long, zesty and spicy finish. Gets better every day, so I assume there is still potential for ageing and improvement. 92-93+

PNP. Cork perfect. color light gold. nose has rich fruit and palate seems more oxidized than i expected, although served at cellar temperature. definitely shows a streak of RS but this completely disappeared after chilling. chilled this seems pretty dry and almost chalky and this mostly masks any sign of oxidation. good - serve this chilly

Hva er den perfekte terassevin? Jeg lever såpass i nuet at svaret kommer an på tidspunktet spørsmålet stilles. Og akkurat nå er svaret definitivt Riesling! :-D
Leitz Rüdesheimer Berg Rottland 2010 Farge: dyp mangogul Lukt: honning og tropisk frukt, kanskje litchi. I munnen: Tørr, men ikke knusktørr. Stadig honning, modent gult eple, modne stikkelsbær. Etter hvert trer også tropiske frukter frem, litchi og kanskje litt tørket aprikos. Ettersmaken sitter lenge. Mmmm.... DET var terassevinen sin, det!

Dry Riesling wines (Houston, TX): Intense floral and tropical aromas on the nose, which comes out as passion fruit, pineapple and melon on the palate. Some ginger and spice notes as it develops in the mouth. Very long finish with some bread and bakery notes at the very end.

2010 Tasting @ Josef Leitz Winery: popped and poured. straw color. intense nose with minerality, tight fruit and maybe some botrytis. the palate shows harmonious fruit and acid with a totally creamy texture. amazing. finish is very long and maintains intensity. wow. Evidently Leitz has changed designations this vintage from Alte Reben to Hinterhaus so I have corrected my note.

Surprisingly dark yellow. Aromas of ripe yellow fruit and minerals. Ripe, acidic and a bit rancid on the palate. Lacks some elegance.

Tastes advanced, without many redeeming qualities. Drinkable but not particularly enjoyable.

Nose of wet stones. Juicy palate yet lean and very dry. Very nice for a dry styled Riesling.
