(Leitz Eins Zwei Dry Riesling "3") ($19.00) After the elegant doughy ’09, this has the most adamantly delineated fruit of any vintage yet – and also the most adamant dryness. The usual quetsch and red currant appear, but with an obdurate length and a surmise of nettles and cress. A litmus test: if you like this, you like dry Riesling. (Bear in mind the sample I tasted was 10-days in bottle and probably didn’t show all its vinosity.)
