Riesling tasting

Riesling tasting at Vintage Wine Merchants on Santana Row. Wines pretty, much got better and better in a logarithmic way, so except for certain notable characteristics noted in the later wines, it was harder and harder to taste the difference. Thus all the ...'s when I was unable to characterize a variation from the thread. The ellipsis doesn't mean the wine was bad or unnotable, but that I had said all I could say about it already.

2004 Scheurebe Kabinett
Sweet, no finish

2004 Muller-catoir Spatlese
Fruity, longer finish. Sweet

2004 Kerpen Wehlener Spatlese
Pear and honey. Particularly tasty. Reasonable finish, but not super long

Fruity, more tart. Strong pear(?) finish, long.

2004 Leitz Rudesheimer Berg Spatlese
Tart, a little sparkly. Citrus and brown sugar(?)

Less sparkly, good but hard to distinguish, ordering may matter.

Huge nose, very grape. Honey, some kind of herbal or forest taste. Kind of candy apple finish, but not too sweet.
