2018 Südsteiermark DAC Sauvignon Blanc trocken "Heaven's Door", Styria/Steiermark, Austria

Firm and deep, multi-layered, still somewhat closed, nutty and slightly woody aroma with aromas of ripe yellow fruits, dried ethereal herbs, floral nuances, quite distinct yellow spice, a little pepper and mineral hints. Ripe, very firm and concentrated, tart, somewhat warm fruit, clearly peppery aromas and again also yellow spice, fine acidity and lots of grip of ripe tannin, a little smoky and nutty wood notes, deep and persistent on the palate, enormous, salty minerality, ethereal herbs in the background, almost massive structure, still undeveloped, very good to long, tart, complex, spicy, juicy, ethereal and very mineral finish
