2020 Monzingen Halenberg Riesling VDP.Grosse Lage "-R-", Nahe, Germany

Deeper and more concentrated, herbal-plant-like, delicately smoky, nutty-yeasty and a hint of blackcurrant aroma with noble stone fruit aromas, ripe citrus fruits, and distinct minerality. Firm, ripe, juicy, dense fruit with moderate sweetness, plenty of grip, and fine, lively acidity, sustainable and complex on the palate, enormous minerality and plenty of tender tannin, has power despite the moderate alcohol, a bit of yellow spice, a slight dark background, smoky traces, deep and long, with fresh juice, fine spice, and again plenty of minerality in the finish.
