2021 Nierstein Hipping Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken, Rheinhessen, Germany

Cool, firm, very slightly bready and also herbaceous-vegetable nose with fresh predominantly bright yellow-fruity aromas and still a little smoky-reductive hints as well as anise and coriander. Again rather bright, quite juicy, a touch sweetish fruit in the mouth, fine, lively acidity, a hint of rock candy, herbal and floral nuances, a hint of red berries and blueberries in the background, delicate grip, good persistence, very good, juicy, again delicately sweet finish with some minerality, Earl Grey and hints of jalapenos.
