Review

Barely sweet, there’s lemon zest, spice and minerality followed by a delicate finish. Great balance and harmony between acid and residual sugar. .
From the highest altitude of Leitz’s holdings. Beautifully balanced. Fresh green apples all the way. Delicious example of what is to come from the 2011 vintage.- John C. 8/17/11

We got a driving tour of the vineyards so Valerie and Julie could see them. As we were driving through the Berg Roseneck (and as Julie was being nervous about the steepness and the drop out her window) we looked up at even more steepness and terraces. “That’s Drachenstein.” That’s where Dragonstone comes from? Yup, right there. Even after judicious D-ass, this wine is sportin’ some torque. I think it’s the best vintage ever (which pisses me off as there’s less of it available) – at least apples-to-apples tasting in March. It has the crazy grip of the vintage, the thickness of fruit and spearmint, plus the kirsch of the site. A really happy wine to drink now, though if past is prologue you can age it for ten years and have a beauty on your hands. - Terry Theise
