2020 Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken "Silberlack", Rheingau, Germany

Very lightly developed nose of yellow stone fruit, but also a hint of plums with delicate smoky nuances, parsley, anise, wax, as well as floral and blackberry hints. Fine, tart, rather restrained fruit, planty and slightly floral tones, fine acidity, still slightly muted and tannic on the palate, good persistence, minerality in the background, chalky tones, a hint of pepper, very good, tart, still a trace drying finish with grip.
