2020 Rüdesheim Rosengarten Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken "Monopole", Rheingau, Germany

Very lightly developed, hinted at smoky, also herbal-vegetable citrus stone fruit nose with a little fennel and aniseed as well as dark berry nuances. Slightly muted fruit with clearly dried planty notes, a hint of mushrooms and noticeable drying tannin, some substance and persistence, peppery traces, a little coriander and again some anise and fennel, delicately sweet melting, clearly mineral in the background, smoky nuances, medium strength, very good, if again a little muted finish with clear mineral.
