Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim Rotschiefer Riesling Spätlese Trocken 2001 Rheinhessen

The colour is unevolved, watery with a slight golden tint. The nose is very pure and classic young Riesling with notes of peaches, minerality and things Rieslingy (a grape will always smell more of itself than of peaches and flowers and so on). The palate is also pure with much fruit and much balancing savoury notes, fine acidity - balanced for a Trocken. Long and mineral. Nice!
