Note: I use a scale on which 85 represents a very good wine.
Not quite as good as some of the other '04 and '05 Rieslings I have been drinking lately. Good sweetness (not too much) but lacking in acidity to balance.

A little bit of residual CO2 here so I decanted for 40 minutes which brought up a gentle papaya and mango scent. My previous encounter with this wine was the 2003 which was a trollop of exotic richness. By comparison this seems slender despite the really quite high RS. Straightforward, lovely Riesling without the gravitas of Leitz's best sites. No hurry to drink up just not likely to be a showstopper when you twist the top off.

This came off as somewhat flabby at 10 years old. Just a hint of petrol with Apple and kumquat notes. Drink now. 85 points.
