2020 Wachau Ried Loibenberg Riesling Smaragd® trocken, Lower Austria/Niederösterreich, Austria

Quite firm, dried-vegetable to herbal and slightly nutty scent of ripe yellow fruits with some buttery aromas, floral traces, as well as a little tobacco and mint. Ripe, melting, sweetish and a little warm fruit, clearly minty-herbal aromas and again a hint of tobacco, relatively lively acidity, a little butter cream on the palate, good persistence, very mellow tannin, certain depth, clear minerality, tightens up with air, very good, juicy, again melting and somewhat ethereal-spicy finish.
