Tasting notes of a local wine lover without elegant literacy or web design. Just plain wine talk. By the same token I analyze the opened bottle with my senses, just at the very end I re-check the producer (I first checked it when bought it for sure!),vintage,terroir,and price. These data allow me to reconstruct the wine and trace a botton line.

Luigi Bosca, Riesling 2005, a complex white from a unique terroir
Luigi Bosca Johannisberg Riesling, By Bodega Luigi Bosca, USD 15 (500 cc bottle)
Single vineyard (Finca La Puntilla, La Puntilla District), Riesling from Lujan de Cuyo Departament, Central Mendoza.

Really original and complex Riesling with attractive citrus and a mineral edge hard to find around. This 7 years old add up a dry leaf note quite interesting. Quite balanced. A 90 point white probably fruitier younger (and higher scored too) but a real beauty now. Great Arg´s value.
