2011 Niederhausen Hermannshöhle Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken, Nahe, Germany

Firm, deep, relatively cool, clearly vegetal fragrance reminiscent of artichokes and broccoli with light yellow fruity aromas, yeasty traces and intense, almost dominant minerality. Ripe, compact, sweetish, very bright fruit, again clearly vegetable aromas and enormous minerality, certain sweetness, which the wine does not necessarily need, lasting on the palate, firm acidity, good depth and substance, hinted at candied pulses on the palate, a hint of blueberries, very good, firm, sweetish and juicy and again a gripping mineral finish. Still young
