2021 Schloss Vollrads Schlossberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken, Rheingau, Germany

Somewhat smoky, nutty and yeasty scent of ripe yellow fruits with herbal aromas, floral traces and light woody tones as well as a hint of black berries. Ripe, quite juicy, sweetish fruit, again yeasty, herbal and smoky-woody aromas, lively acidity, some grip of ripe tannin, hints of yellow spice, in the background also dark berries, good persistence, distinct minerality, still little developed, very good, firm, juicy and again somewhat woody finish, in which only the sweetness still seems a little out of place.
