The 2020 Niederh?user Hermannsh?hle Riesling Sp?tlese is intense and complex on the dusty/stony and slightly phenolic-scented nose that indicates ripe fruit, floral and honey notes as well as a still reductive character. Round and lush on the palate, this is an elegant, refined and salty Sp?tlese from the Hermansh?hle that develops a serious intensity and terroir expression even at this young age. Impressive yet still very sweet and more promising than already great. Persistently salty on the aftertaste. 8% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in September 2021.
