2021 Ungstein Weilberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken, Pfalz, Germany

Deep, dense and complex, still smoky-reductive, also yeasty bouquet with restrained aromas of ripe yellow fruits, clearly black berry tones, stewed mushrooms and bacon, fine herbaceous tones and also reminiscent of legumes and abundant minerality. Very firm and dense also in the mouth, ripe, yet restrained, melting, slightly warm fruit, very fine acidity and grip of yeast and crumbly tannin, dried-vegetable to herbal and hints of tobacco, a touch of mushrooms in the background, nutty hints, intense, light minerality, a touch of butter in the background, long, firm, tart finish with emphasis.
