2008 Nierstein Ölberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken, Rheinhessen, Germany

Somewhat yellow-spicy scent of partly dried citrus fruits and stone fruits with candy notes, herbs, a little caramel and mineral as well as wilt-floral aromas. Ripe, juicy, somewhat sweet-melting fruit with caramel and candy notes, some yeast and very fine acidity, power and some warmth on the palate, good substance and persistence, slightly oily tones, warm minerality, some grip, good depth, very good, again somewhat warm and melting finish with vegetal and yellow-spicy nuances. Has reached a stage of certain timelessness by now and should keep itself so still quite long
