2021 Kallstadt Annaberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken, Pfalz, Germany

Deep, firm, multi-layered and decidedly noble bouquet with citrus and stone fruit aromas, a hint of mustard pickle, pepper, smoky nuances, fine, predominantly fresh herbs and minerality. Taut, ripe, yet rather cool, tangy, again noble fruit, lively acidity and grip of crumbly tannin, nutty, yeasty and very delicate buttery hints, dense, deep and persistent, clear, bright, chalky-salty but also somewhat stony minerality, very complex, still barely developed, long, taut, tangy and again intensely mineral finish with smoky, nutty and herbaceous-vegetable hints.
