2023 Dorsheim Goldloch Riesling Auslese VDP.Grosse Lage, Goldkapsel, Nahe, Germany

Fest and quite deep, somewhat tobacco-like, nutty and vegetable to dried-herb-like nose with candied yellow fruits and a hint of dried flowers and honey. Clear, juicy and quite dense, very sweet fruit with bitter herbal aromas, a touch of dark berries and again honey, fine, lively acidity, has grip from ripe tannin, good substance and sustainability, chalky minerality, in the background pine needles and hinted beeswax, certain depth, very good, juicy finish with nuances reminiscent of green tea.
