2008 Schieferterrassen, Mosel, Germany

Somewhat sweetish-caramel nose, also a little reminiscent of nut butter with aromas of partly dried and preserved, very ripe yellow fruits, some herbs, dried flowers and hints of honey. Ripe, juicy, melting, sweet fruit caramel and yellow-spicy flavors, fine acidity, grip of crumbly tannin, distinct mineral tones, persistent, some power and richness, tart tobacco flavors, very good finish. In its somewhat baroque way still very good - and better than young
