BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Green steel-gold. Fresh, grapy, floral— another of those Gewurztraminers that smell a little bit like the Mosel on steroids. But it does draw you in and make you want to sip. Fresh, sweet, and attractive in a soft, grassy-floral kind of way on the palate, too, with just enough concentration to carry its sugars. | 85

Charles Metcalfe | Youth dumbs this down at present, with few aromas showing. The palate is weighty but needs time to develop. There seem to be good elements in place, with litchi flavor eventually struggling through, good acidity and sweetness in balance. Length is good and presages well for the future. | 88

Jancis Robinson | Pale straw. Low-key nose. Very soft and juicy. I’d like more acidity or bitterness. Sweetness obtrudes. Drink 2017–19. | 85
