2019 Südsteiermark DAC Ried Höchleit'n Riesling Reserve trocken, Styria/Steiermark, Austria

Firm and quite deep, somewhat vegetal and floral nose with relatively light yellow fruity notes, a hint of dark berries, certain, again light barrel notes and a hint of wax. Ripe, fairly firm, not completely dry, juicy fruit, yeasty nuances and light oak notes, fine acidity, somewhat opaque and slightly drying tannins, good substance and persistence, vegetal and waxy tones, a hint of smoke, a certain creaminess on the palate, minerality in the background, very good, again slightly muted and sweetish, but also quite firm finish. Should mature a little more.
