Andrew Jefford | Pale to mid-gold-yellow in color. Very attractive, very present, very assertive but engaging scents of honeydew, peach, tangerine, and litchi, with a fine spice mist drifting over all. There’s also a fine vegetal complexity: jasmine, but the leaf as well as the blossoms. Mouthwatering and enticing; fine complexity. On the palate, that excitement is maintained: It’s an excitingly lush, deep, creamy effort, with superb depth, poise, and finesse. Despite the sugar of 37g/l, the very final breath after the wine has gone is still full of breeze and lift and purity. A generous Gewurztraminer, but one of glorious finesse, too. Hats off to whoever grew and vinified this spellbinding wine. | 94

Charles Metcalfe | A very golden color compared with most of the other 2015s. Rich, opulent, and sensual, and already showing perfume and aromas. Exotic and opulent, this is very much of a whole, with lovely flavor intensity and excellent balance. And this will develop much further with more time in bottle. | 92

Jancis Robinson | Coppery straw. Light nose. Very rich and dense on the palate, which is quite subtle and layered. Intense. Vibrant and long. Very attention-grabbing. Really serious stuff. I love the seriousness of this. Very rich but not just sweet. Drink 2017–24. | 93
