2021 Appenheim Hundertgulden Riesling Grosses Gewächs, Rheinhessen, Germany

Slightly smoky and tobacco nose of ripe yellow fruits with herbal notes as well as vegetable and mineral hints. Ripe, quite juicy yellow fruit, not completely dry, somewhat tobacco and delicately vegetal on the palate, hints of ethereal herbs, suitable acidity, still a hint of covering and drying tannin, which however binds with air, smoky, salty and chalky tones, a hint of black berries in the background, almondy tones, very good, again slightly drying, at the same time also melting finish.
