2022 Kallstadt Annaberg Riesling VDP.Grosses Gewächs trocken, Pfalz, Germany

Still a little restless, firm, smoky and somewhat herbaceous-herbal fragrance with restrained, bright yellow-fruity aromas, ozone, a hint of anise and tobacco with nutty hints, shellfish and minerality. Very tightly woven, tangy, bone-dry fruit, nutty and smoky aromas, some planty to herbaceous tones in the background, persistent, has power without heaviness, certain melting, clear, chalky-stony minerality, grip of crumbly tannin, very fine acidity marbling the wine, certain depth, in the finish again tart, melting and at the same time grippy, smoky and light-mineral.
