2022 Monzingen Auf der Ley Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken (Versteigerungswein), Nahe, Germany

Firm and very deep, delicately smoky, also a hint of nuttiness with restrained yellow fruity aromas, a hint of smoke, menthol, green tobacco and distinct minerality. Ripe, calm, fine-juicy fruit with yeasty and somewhat herbal-vegetable tones, moderate grip of ripe phenolic and very fine acidity marbling the wine, dense and persistent on the palate, rather lean but you with substance, density and depth, very firm core, lots of bright minerality, still undeveloped, long, tight, fine-juicy and again intensely mineral finish with enormous grip and pull. Must mature.
