Firm and quite deep, somewhat smoky and vegetal, with a slight resemblance to celery, scent with a focus on core fruit emphasized by yellow fruit aromas and a hint of herbs. Clear, firmly structured, herb-juicy fruit, fine acidity and a bit of grip, smoky nuances, nutty and distinctly vegetal tones, a trace of earthiness, barrel notes in the background, has power and melt, but rather no heaviness, salty-chalky, almost stony minerality, persistent on the palate, certain depth, very good, firm finish with finely bitter shell tones.

Editor note: Firm aroma of ripe stone and pomaceous fruit with slightly nutty and herbal notes, some celery, citrus tones and a hint of smoke. Ripe, warm, juicy, partly candied fruit, a certain acid bite and crumbly tannin, nutty notes on the palate, orange zest and apricots, a little nut butter and earthy-vegetable flavours, persistent, relatively high in alcohol, a little loud for a Silvaner, very good finish.
