2011 Birkweiler Kastanienbusch Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken, Pfalz, Germany

Somewhat developed, very slightly nutty scent of stone fruit and ripe citrus fruits with dried planty and floral nuances. Ripe, juicy, sweetish, ripe fruit, very fine acidity, a hint of candy and nutty traces, good substance and persistence, herbal nuances in the background, tart mineral tones, certain warmth and alcoholic power, but also cooling elements, very good, juicy finish. After the obviously not ideal bottle 4 years ago, this one is up to par again; nevertheless, one should finish the wine so slowly.
