Andrew Jefford | Clear, mid-red with some faint bricking of the hue. Warm and full of pure fruit enticement, without excessive oak. Fine-lined on the palate, with a much more mature and more settled style of fruit than some of the other 2013s, but this is another soft, stealthy, and haunting Spätburgunder of real delicacy, refinement, and class which I would love to drink for dinner. I wouldn’t keep it any longer, but just now its tenderness and poise are outstanding, though it is neither ample nor particularly resonant. | 90

Anne Krebiechl | This seems advanced, with notions of wet hay, freshly turned wet earth and trodden leaves. On the slender palate, the fruit is fading but there still is a smoky veil of just gripping tannins and fine, bright acidity. All the elements are in balance; it is just a pity that the fruit is so shy and takes such time to come to the fore: redcurrant with edges of spicy pepper. This bears the hallmarks of unforced elegance. | 93
