2008 Monzingen Halenberg Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken, Nahe, Germany

Hint of wilted flowers on the nose, ripe citrus and stone fruit and some apple, light green vegetal aromas, hint of yellow spice, fairly prominent mineral notes. Ripe, sweetish, juicy fruit on the palate, dried vegetal and herbaceous aromas, some yellow spice, elegant, lively acidity, light nutty notes, earthy and mineral notes, slightly astringent tannins provide a frim grip, good substance, some depth, tart mineral notes, very good, juicy, but slightly astringent finish. Has not quite lived up to the expectations we had of this wine in its youth.

Editor note: Translate to English Noch etwas unruhiger und hefiger, dabei aber sehr komplexer und intensiver, zupackend mineralischer Duft nach Steinobst, angetrockneten Zitrusfrüchten und etwas Apfel mit intensiv kräuterwürzigen Aromen. Sehr dicht und sehr saftig im Mund, reife, reintönige Frucht mit intensiver Mineralik und Kräuterwürze, sehr feine, reife, dabei präsente Säure und gewisse Kohlensäure, nicht ganz trockener Stil, viel Stoff und Tiefe, ausgezeichnete Nachhaltigkeit, noch kaum entwickelt, Druck und Kraft ohne jegliche Schwere, sehr lang. Braucht Luft und/oder viel Zeit.
