2024 Nackenheim Rothenberg Riesling VDP.Grosses Gewächs trocken "Wurzelecht", Rheinhessen, Germany

Firm, immensely deep and complex, yet highly refined, somewhat floral and herbal scent with restrained yellow fruit aromas, a hint of seaweed, crab meat, finest vegetable oil, and distinct minerality. Very firm, quite juicy fruit with pronounced herbal-ethereal spice, very fine acidity, moderate grip, dense and persistent on the palate, a touch of anise in the background, also fennel nuances, bacon, pepper, and finest root vegetables, excellent depth, enormous, partly dark mineral foundation, has inner calm and strength, appears almost quiet despite all its expressiveness, almost silky texture, multi-layered and long. Impressive.
