Jamie Goode | Citrus, toast, honey, and pith on the nose. Has intensity. The palate is dense and pithy, with very high acidity and good concentration of flavor. A bone-dry, intense, and slightly austere wine. Too intense and a bit unbalanced for my palate. It’s certainly impressive, but I might find it hard to drink. | 88
Peter Richards | Reticent initially but the aroma crescendos in the glass, opening and unfurling to reveal gorgeous baked green-apple and lime aromas, with notes of freshly baked bread. Urgent in its keen green-apple acidity, dense and long and complex. This is bravura Riesling, fabulous in its freshness, crystalline purity, and uncompromising style. Very dry. Could benefit from 5–15 years of age. A real star, mineral and pure. | 95
David Williams | Showing a hint of development, this is a little on the skinny side, lacking a little in mid-palate flesh and energy; it has that Riesling acid spine (and how) but it’s wincingly deployed. | 86
