2005 Monzingen Halenberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs, Nahe, Germany

Firm and deep, calm, somewhat herbaceous-vegetable stone fruit aroma with citrus flavours, vegetable and floral nuances as well as a certain minerality in the background. Ripe, juicy, dense, somewhat sweetish fruit, very fine acidity and grip of crumbly tannin, persistent on the palate, good depth, dried-vegetable to herbaceous and delicate floral aromas, lots of tart, rather dark minerality, smoky and slightly nutty tones, a hint of tobacco, almost compact structure, still completely ageless, firm, juicy, dense finish with tart spice and again plenty of minerality. In grandiose condition.
