2017 Forst Ungeheuer Riesling Grosses Gewächs trocken, Pfalz, Germany

Even more reductive, very cool, clearly yeasty, also nutty and a hint of vegetable fragrance with yellow-fruity aromas, a little yellow spice, a hint of tobacco and lots of minerals. Ripe, partly candied, quite juicy, tart fruit with lots of yeast, vegetable to herbal notes and some yellow spice, nutty to light woody nuances, grip of ripe tannins, fine acidity, persistent on the palate, still completely undeveloped, certain depth, some warmth and enamel, but also clearly cooling notes, best balance, very good, firm finish. Needs time.
