BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Pale water-gold, with some latent spritz. Sweet-scented and attractive: some citrus and some pretty spring flowers, with few musky notes here. A very attractive and well-composed scent. Fresh, lively, zesty, and perfumed but also deeply fruity. An enormously attractive wine if you have a taste for this variety, with lots of poise, concentration, and depth. All of the pristine perfume of the aromatic profile is there on the palate, too. Seductive and diverting, without any oppressive cattiness: rose, pink grapefruit, and just a whisper of musk. | 91

Anne Krebiechl | Green apple, some grassiness and zesty citrus play delicately but distinctly on the nose. The palate comes in with a wonderful grapefruit pithiness that lends as much texture as zesty freshness and helps carry the residual sweetness which is exquisitely balanced. The body is light, fresh, gently fruited. The finish is very refreshing. | 93

Stephan Reinhardt | Delicate and precise on the reductive, elegant, and concentrated nose, this is a mineral, salty-piquant, racy and lush Spätlese, with a good precision and grippy salinity on the finish. Excellent, but five to seven years too young right now. | 91
