2018 Hallgarten Jungfer Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken "Revoluzzer", Rheingau, Germany

Firm, vegetal to herbal, slightly floral, yeasty and also mineral citrus scent with apple and stone fruit notes. Rather warm, somewhat sweetish, slightly buttery-caramel fruit, floral and vegetal notes, fine, at first restrained, but with air somewhat tightening acidity, crumbly tannin, good substance and persistence, yeast flavors, in the background mineral, rather soft contours, a trace of smoke, woody notes, emerging also tobacco, very good, quite compact, slightly muted, warm finish, again with butter and in addition a little protein. At first inaccessible and also a little too broad; currently needs 2 days to show what it can really do

Best to drink: 2023-2027+. What our ratings mean
