(Leitz Rüdesheimer Berg Rottland Riesling Spätlese) ($36.00) From the sirloin parcel “Hinterhaus,” this is Leitz’s first sweet Spät from Rottland for many years. Nice he doesn’t do things by rote! It’s a rich, dense wine, a powerful masculine Spät in the patriarchal Rheingau paradigm; dark bread and chestnut puree; alpha-dog Riesling, not a demure or yielding bone in its body. Shows how to be gorgeous without being charming.
