2023 Ruppertsberg Gaisböhl Riesling VDP.Grosses Gewächs trocken, Pfalz, Germany

Firm and deeper, rather restrained, a little ethereal-herbaceous and resinous scent with citrus and stone fruit aromas, floral traces, and mineral hints. Very firm, bone-dry, ripe, juicy fruit with nutty and slightly dried-plant spice, very fine acidity, a grip of mellow tannin, dense, deep, and persistent on the palate, moderate barrel tones, mineral foundation, complex, on one hand still appearing almost compact, but already with elegance, very good to long, firm finish with noble juice, minerality, and fine spice. Has class.
