  Farven er dyb rav gul /guld farve.
  
  Duften er ret speciel. Masser af orange noter, appelsin skræl, grillet citrus, parfumeret af gule friske og tørret blomster, smukke toner af dyb petroleum, akacie honning, overmodne æbler(let ovnbagt æble kompot).
  Små toner af lidt vanilje, friske abrikoser, små toner af lidt sød tobak.
  Dybe krydret toner, samtidig også friske krydret toner.
  
  Smagen er ret frisk med toner af duften. Men det er især de krydret orange toner der træder frem med citrus i slutningen. Smagen er ikke tung men kompleks som duften, af dybe og friske krydret orange toner.
  
  Syren har bundtræk og kommer først frem bagerst i munden, for at
  ramme tungespidsen til slut.
  
  Eftersmag af orangeskræl/citrusskræl, grøn te. (Jeg ville gætte Alsace Riesling hvis jeg smagte blindt)
  
  (Leitz Goldkapsel version stammer fra de senest høstede druer i Berg Rottland)
  Alt i alt, en rigtig sniffer vin, total sin egen, ligner ikke andre og vil ikke være som alle andre. Giv den luft i glasset og den fortæller og giver dig en personlig oplevelse..Tak til Leitz for den oplevelse. Respekt ;-)

  Golden color. Some petrolium on nose. Somewhat mature in the sense that it has lost a lot of fruit. Usually the fruit will be replaced but a sensation of sweetness, like honey, but in this case, just feels a bit hollow. Also lacking in concentration - feels a bit too light. Yet it feels balanced and its very refreshing. Would probably be quite satisfied if this was a 15€ wine and not a 30€.

  Had high expectations for this and it let me down. Lacking in richness and complexity. I don't know if it will grow with age...

  Very delicate nose. Notes of honey.
  
  On palate it seems watered down. Thin, no richness. Not at all what I would expect from an old vines wine.
  
  Although its fine drinking and very pleasant, at this pricepoint (37$), I'm pretty dissapointed.
