2017 Niederhausen Hermannsberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken Reserve, Nahe, Germany

Very lightly developed, deep and complex, distinctly herbal to herbal and a touch floral citrus stone fruit scent with a hint of passion fruit and dark berry nuances, hints of lemon butter, smoky traces and mineral hints. Firmly knit, ripe, juicy fruit, very fine, lively acidity and some grip, implied sweetness, distinct, cool and tart minerality, herbal and implied floral flavours, persistent, deep and complex, at the moment in a first accessible phase but still gripping, a hint of smoky and dark berry in the background, a hint of avocado, tobacco notes, very good to long, juicy, herbal, smoky and very mineral finish.
