2021 Roxheim Höllenpfad Riesling VDP.Erste Lage trocken, Nahe, Germany

Clear, fine and polished, first bright, then noticeably darkening nose of peach and reneclodes with citrus aromas, a little herbs, dark berries and mineral hints. Firm, juicy, polished, still a little reductive fruit, fine acidity, smoky notes and grip, persistent on the palate, quite complex, a little chalky, present minerality, some depth, black berry traces, elegant style, already deceptively accessible, very good, tight, tart and mineral finish with a rather dark background.
