Default I need to drink more Rheingau wines...

.... and not just the Nahe/Mosel/Alsace/Aussie Rieslings.

Opened a 2004 Josef Leitz Rudesheimer Magdalenenkreuz Riesling
Spatlese this weekend.
Pale yellow colour. Lovely rich nose that keeps opening up with time
to show strawberries, apple, peach, citrus fruits and some earthy
notes. This is AWESOME on the palate - full bodied, leesy, chewy and
creamy in texture with great balance and bright strawberry and peach
flavours. Medium length finish, and it's a ridiculously good value at
$20. Now to hunt down the 06.
