2017 Riesling Extra Brut Réserve, Nahe, Germany

Cool, distinctly yeasty nose with very bright yellow-fruity aromas, fine herbal-vegetable notes, a hint of smoke and mineral tones. Tight, cool, tangy fruit, clearly yeasty and delicately nutty aromas, present, youthful, very fine tannin, some grip and lively acidity, smoky nuances on the palate, persistent, good depth, plenty of tension, clear, salty, also chalky minerality, still very young and undeveloped, very good, tight, tangy finish, again with grip, nutty, yeasty aromas and bite. First-class - but should still mature a little.
