2017 Neuweier Mauerberg Riesling VDP.Grosses Gewächs trocken, Baden, Germany

Something developed, firm, rather cool, herbal-plant nose with partially dried citrus fruits, stone fruit notes, and mineral as well as restrained petrol hints. Quite juicy, somewhat melting, lightly muted fruit with noticeable sweetness, but also rather bitter nutty-woody, dried-plant, tobacco, and earthy tones, crumbly-sandy tannin, a hint of dark berries, certain minerality, has considerable substance, but also muted in the finish by sandy and drying tannin and despite the quite high sweetness, also somewhat bitter.

Best to drink: Bis 2028+. What our ratings mean
