2023 Monzingen Auf der Ley Riesling VDP.Grosses Gewächs trocken (Versteigerungswein), Nahe, Germany

Very firm, cool, deep, and immensely fine, dry scent with fine herbal aromas, restrained yet brilliant, bright yellow-fruity nuances and a hint of dark berries as well as distinct, bright minerality. Ripe and concentrated, yet restrained, bright fruit, yeasty, ethereal-herbaceous, and intensely mineral notes, smoky nuances, enormous, intense minerality, deep, complex, and full of energy, nutty-yeasty nuances, completely aloof yet touching to the core, very fresh spring onion in the background, long, dense, gripping, almost cold finish with nutty and tobacco nuances.
