2023 Dorsheim Burgberg Riesling VDP.Grosses Gewächs trocken, Nahe, Germany

Cool, clear citrus-peach nose with fine herbal notes, a hint of yeast, floral nuances, olive oil, a touch of chili, nutty to tobacco-like barrel tones, and minerality. Bright, bitter, finely juicy, densely worked fruit, fine acidity, yeasty and herbaceous-plant aromas, grippy on the palate, ethereal, with fine plant spiciness and a hint of vinaigrette, intense minerality, very firm structure, sustainable, good depth, still completely undeveloped, a hint of red and black berries in the background, very good, firm, bitter-juicy, ethereal-plant-like, and very mineral finish. Needs time.
