Stephen Brook: Limes and minerals on the nose, which seems perfectly ripe. Rich, ripe, boldly flavoury, full-bodied; has weight without heaviness; very concentrated. Backed by tangy acidity that freshens the palate. Excellent balance and length, and a fresh zesty finish. 18
Jancis Robinson: Tangy but very subdued nose. Is this excess sulphur? Some ripe fruit and lots of acidity. Still slightly coarse-textured and chewy. Needs time. 14.5
Alexander Scott: Very similar to the Forst Pechstein, with just a notch more intensity. Perhaps I'd be more excited if this had come earlier in the tasting. 16.5
