BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Delicate light gold. Plump, sweet scents of dripping summer fruits; a little rose. Exuberant, classically oily palate, with plenty of rose-garden perfume. Vinous, long, and structured, with a little acidity and a perfectly dry style. Very good dry Gewurztraminer. | 90

Charles Metcalfe | Pleasant aroma of litchi, not immensely complex, but adequate. Palate seems sweeter than the numbers suggest, but this does have some litchi perfume and good acidity. Length isn’t great, but it’s an adequate Gewurz. | 82

Jancis Robinson | Deep pinky straw. Smells too “heavy” to release much on the (decidedly indistinct) nose. Round and rather soft. On the way down. Drink 2012–17. | 86
