A great buy a bit over a year ago.

Like everything in life, you can only a great buy when you take some risk.

It was the Leasingham 2007 Riesling Magnus that got a WS 91. And made the WS Top 100 list. The Wine Club offered it for $9.99 a bottle but if I bought a case, it was $6.99 a bottle. Heck, that's barely $84 for a whole case I thought. That's like 5 $17 bottles. So I bought a case.

It's an Aussie riesling so it has a bit more vibrancy (acidity and citrus) and less floral than a German riesling. It has a pure beam of lime once it breathes and warmes up a bit. Some minerality and it tastes like a riesling should. In short, it's superb. My scores over the 4 bottles I've had are 89-93 points.

If only I had bought 2 cases. :)
