2020 Erbach Siegelsberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken, Rheingau, Germany

Somewhat planty to herbal, reminiscent of lemon verbena and lemon balm, relatively cool citrus scent with stone fruit notes, mineral hints, some phenolic, porcini mushrooms and floral nuances. Tight, juicy, sweetish fruit with tart nutty, dried planty to tobacco and slightly spicy notes, a little yeast, quite fine, lively acidity and again clear phenolic grip, persistent on the palate, good depth, a little spice going into the peppery, a hint of blueberries in the background, very good, sweetish, juicy, grippy and spicy finish with smoky and tart mineral notes.
