2019 Nierstein Pettenthal Riesling trocken, Rheinhessen, Germany

Firm, still slightly restless, somewhat herbaceous-vegetable, quite polished fragrance with relatively cool yellow-fruity aromas and nutty-yeasty traces. Ripe, juicy, firm, not quite dry fruit, fine, ripe acidity and some touch of crumbly, still a trace of sandy tannin, fine herbal spice on the palate, persistent, has power and substance, good depth, a hint of dark berries in the background, aromas reminiscent of pumpkin seeds, very good, firm, mineral and somewhat pesto spicy finish with polished, slightly sweetish fruit
