2013 Silvaner trocken indiGenius, Franconia/Franken, Germany

Relatively high in color. Firm, quite polished, very slightly open, delicate caramel-like nose, partly dried citrus fruits and pomaceous fruit with dried floral traces, a little ginger and turmeric, candied-nutty and floral notes. Clear, elegantly juicy, ripe fruit with nutty, delicately woody and spicy nuances, some sugar candy and a hint of cocoa on the palate, very elegant acidity and mature tannins, persistent, has substance and medium potency, very harmonious, quite individual, has some depth, a little bit Dried citrus zests in the background, traces of light tobacco and some salt, very good, very slightly caramel and buttery finish with still juice and spicy curry reminiscence. Very skilful and certainly a first-class, versatile food companion from veal chop to spicy Thai chicken.
