2023 Graach Himmelreich Riesling Auslese Grosse Lage, Mosel, Germany

Well-polished, somewhat floral, nutty, and tobacco-like scent of partly preserved core and stone fruits with a hint of root vegetables and suggested medicinal herbs. Ripe, very sweet, again somewhat preserved apricot fruit with a touch of Earl Grey, quite lively acidity, slightly fine-grained tannins, good substance and sustainability, with dark berries and a certain ethereal quality in the background, chalky minerality, very good finish with a certain bitterness.
