Nik Weis / St. Urbans-Hof Schodener Saarfeilser Marienberg Riesling Großes Gewächs

Vanilla, white peach, lemon zest, brie rind, chive, mint, red chili minus the spice. On the sweeter side of spatlese (not surprising given the vintage) but still drinking well. The acidity is JUST keeping it together, but should gain more balance with more years in the bottle. Juicy, full, and rounded on the palate. Long finish of peach macerated with vanilla sugar and chili flakes. The herbal notes on the nose are really captivating, at this stage, the nose is …

Strong petrol nose. Very sweet with not quite enough acidity to bring it into balance for my taste. Not a wine to have with dessert, it is dessert all by itself.
