2019 Riesling VDP.Gutswein trocken "Rotschiefer", Rheinhessen, Germany

Firm, somewhat herbaceous-vegetable aroma reminiscent of sunflower and pumpkin seeds with reserved, rather tart, slightly warm stone fruit notes, some citrus zest and mineral notes. Ripe, slightly warm, juicy, partly candied, relatively sweet fruit, very fine acidity and touch of crumbly tannin, again sunflower and pumpkin seeds on the palate, good substance and persistence, has melodiousness, red berry nuances in the background, a hint of tobacco, clearly shows origin, very good, again relatively sweet and slightly warm finish with spice, minerality and touch
