2017 Achkarren Schlossberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken, Baden, Germany

Light nutty and vegetal notes on the nose, hint of tobacco, light yellow fruit, elegant vegetal and cereal notes, hint of bacon, fairly prominent mineral notes. Ripe, but restrained, polished, juicy, slightly creamy fruit on the palate, very elegant acidity, more elegant vegetal aromas, delicate oily traces, hint of tobacco, earthyand mineral notes, peppery traces in the background, good depth and persistence, already quite well balanced and tranquil, elegant grip, touch of yellow spice, herbs and rose petals, hint of darl berries, pepper and tart herbaceous notes on a very good, complex finish. Excellent wine.
