2023 Piesport Goldtröpfchen Riesling Auslese, Mosel, Germany

Cool, fine, still slightly reductive, somewhat vegetable to herbaceous, almondy and slightly smoky nose, some candied yellow fruit. Polished, juicy, firm fruit with a hint of light flowers and honey, lively yet fine acidity, delicate grip, good substance and persistence, salty and chalky minerality, a certain depth, a hint of dark berries, very good finish with cool vegetal flavours and nuances reminiscent of preserved apricots.
