2019 Iphofen Julius-Echter-Berg Silvaner Grosses Gewächs trocken, Franconia/Franken, Germany

Planty to herbal, somewhat nutty, smoky and a hint of floral aroma with rather pome fruit accentuated yellow fruity aromas, a little mango, yeasty traces and minerality. Firmly woven, dense fruit with nutty and still slightly yeasty notes, very fine acidity, a little grip of crumbly tannin, persistent and powerful on the palate, clear minerality, peppery traces, a touch of anise and turmeric, hints of soy, good depth, still young, very good to long, compact finish with very slightly warm fruit, minerality and fine spice.
