2022 Kamptal DAC Ried Heiligenstein Riesling Erste ÖTW Ried trocken, Lower Austria/Niederösterreich, Austria

Firm and quite deep, still undeveloped, somewhat yeasty, delicately smoky and a hint of tobacco on the nose with stone fruit and citrus aromas, floral nuances and a little yellow spice. Rather closed, very dry fruit with relatively present acidity, yeasty notes, yellow spice and plenty of grip, dense and persistent on the palate, a little dark spice, lots of tart, stony and chalky minerality, good depth, has tension, very good, tart-juicy, somewhat yeasty, herbal-spicy and again extremely mineral finish. Needs time.
