Andrew Jefford | Bright pale gold. Very young still, and almost undigested: lots of sweet pear and quince, but without any varietal cues for the time being. Hugely pretty, nonetheless. On the palate: a great wall of youthful crystallized sugar with fruit perfumes drifting through it, but nonetheless with nothing that really insists on challenging or being Gewurz. Judgment reserved, really, for such a young sweet wine. | 89

Charles Metcalfe | Yellow with a suggestion of gold. Honeyed sweetness dominates aromas at present, with a hint of lemon zest. This is very young, with an appley youth that will be smoothed away by time in bottle. At the moment, it’s all a bit too much—high acidity, high alcohol, and high sugar. It’s almost more like rather exotic spiced apple juice than wine. But the length is just beginning to show the way it might go. You have to wait for this. Probably not among the very best, but worth waiting for five years to see where it goes. | 90

Jancis Robinson | Deep straw. Easy, sweet. Gingery but without real focus. Lots of volume but less focus. Drink 2017–22. | 89
