2014 Winningen Uhlen Riesling trocken Grosses Gewächs, Blaufüßer Lay, B, Mosel, Germany

Cool and deep, rather tart, herbaceous-vegetable, slightly tobacco and intensely mineral bouquet with fine citrus and peach aromas, flint, pepper, fennel, some root vegetables and a hint of black berries. Very firm in the mouth, tart and delicately sweet at the same time, animating, cool juice, tremendously complex, present herbal to slightly tobacco spice with soup herb notes, clear, earthy and salty minerality, restrained fruit, dense, deep and persistent on the palate, intense fennel flavours, lots of grip through ripe tannin, enormous tension, still completely undeveloped, hints of saffron and curry in the background, long, taut, gripping, mineral and juicy finish. Great
