BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Still a relatively pale gold. This is a very enticing, very becoming glassful of scent: so delicately spiced, so vivid and vibrant, so pure. Sweet fruits (apricot and peach), soft spices, fresh cream, and the hint of the white truffle to come... Fine work here. On the palate, it is certainly generously sweet yet also richly aromatic, with plenty of depth and aromatic power: fine Gewurz. It doesn’t have the absolute saturation (perfume, variety, terroir) of the very best, but it’s a benchmark late-harvest style of wine of resonant classicism that leaves the mouth clean, fresh, and poised. | 91

Charles Metcalfe | Mid-gold color. Lean, lemony, toasty aromas. The palate is restrained and taut, with high acidity, toasty, candied lemon peel flavors, and sweetness well balanced by the acidity. It’s young and vigorous, and I’m sure it has more to come. Give this another five years, then look again. | 94

Jancis Robinson | Pale yellow-straw. Interesting and subtle combination of richness and raciness. Lip-smacking, with the sugar very well covered. Long and very lively, despite the sugar. Drink 2016–20. | 92
