Andrew Jefford | Back a vintage and into full light gold now; handsome. Deep, rich, complex: instantly you know that you are in front of a serious and possibly profound Gewurz. Deep fruits with some freshness, as well as lots of honeyed spice; botrytized complexities. Age has swiped the florals somewhat, but the mushroomy richness of age is ample recompense. On the palate, it is classical, pure, and rich, its sugars well qualified by the complexities both of age and of concentration. Floral spice and mushroomy, earthy richness come together admirably here. Impressive wine. Deep, round, mature; perfectly ready for me. | 92

Charles Metcalfe | Lovely golden color to this. Creamy, toasty, litchi aromas. The palate is rich and seductive, with opulent, Turkish-delight rose-petal fragrance and enough acidity to balance the sweetness. At a delightful point in its evolution. I’d drink this now. | 90

Jancis Robinson | Deep copper. Very sweet start and some floral Gewurz character—heady lilies?—and a little bit of reverberation on the finish. A tad simple. But good intensity. Savory. Long. Drink 2016–20. | 89
