2017 trocken Grande Réserve, Rheinhessen, Germany

Firm, quite deep, still undeveloped fragrance with light yellow fruity aromas, delicately smoky, also light wood, vegetable nuances, floral tones and certain minerality. Cool, tight and juicy in the mouth, polished, quite concentrated fruit with lively acidity and delicate tannin grip, persistent and dense on the palate, again light, very slightly smoky wood, lots of bite, persistent, good depth, still hardly developed, chalky-salty minerality in the background, very good, firm finish with cool juice. Needs time
