Tasting notes

Deep yellow colour. Great nose. Smokey and complex. Intense. Very mineral and chalky. Dried flowers. Fullbodied and lightly off-dry Franken-riesling in the mouth. Pure and concentrated wine with a highly mineral feel. A bit smokey and a touch of iodine and dried flowers. Fine acidity and overall balance. Tastes quite dry. Long finish with lots of minerality, so a touch of bitterness on the finish. This was really a great wine that was on top right now. The finest aged riesling I have had from Franken.
