2017 Thüngersheim Johannisberg Silvaner Grosses Gewächs trocken Rothlauf, Franconia/Franken, Germany

Depe, tart nose, still slightly reductive, vegetal notes, hint of mushrooms, delicate floral traces, very restrained yellow fruit, some pepper, light herbaceous notes, prominent mineral notes. Firm, bone dry, tart, juicy fruit on the palate, nutty, dried vegetal and herbaceous notes, intense mineral notes, concentrated and persistent, touch of white pepper in the background, hint of white flowers, still undeveloped, very elegant acidity, fine tannins provide appealing grip, hint of bacon, fairly cool, precise style, clear contours, very good long finish, good grip and spicy notes. Great wine.
