Interestingly this is less overtly spicy as the Amoureuses at present though there is a genuinely gorgeous inner mouth perfume to the suave

bay leaves

resulting in extra concentration and richness

floral hints that combine with moderate wood influence

Battenfeld Spanier, Zellerweg Schwarzen Hergott Riesling GG other_regions_italy Interestingly this is less overtlyThe very smoky and flinty nose pulls you inexorably into this dense and highly structured dry riesling, but those descriptors make the wine sound austere, whereas all this is wrapped in concentrated mirabelle fruit. The entire composition making a bold statement, particularly at the long and imposingly chalky finish. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.
