Westhofener Brunnenhauschen Abst E Riesling, Grosses Gewächs, 2020

Lavender, thyme, iris, narcissus, lemon and grapefruit confront the nose. The polished, subtly silken palate impression is more coolingly green-herbal and sweetly suggestive in inner-mouth perfume than the assertive pungency that the aromas suggested. As usual for this always remarkable bottling, there is an amazing sense of clarity, vibrancy and lift, accompanied by a near-kaleidoscopic interaction of floral, herbal, citric and mineral elements.
