Andrew Jefford: Pale lemon-yellow. Pretty, correct, yet lacks some focus and intensity. Soft honey and limeflower here... almost Hungarian. Lush, vivid, multidimensioned; briskly fruited (more so than the aroma would suggest) with a longish, vivid finish. Intense, densely fruity wine. Hard to fault; only a lack of intricacy and charm holds it back. 16

Simon Larkin : Appearance near identical. Sweet, candied aromas, akin to pineapple chunks. Rich, intense, with some mineral qualities discernible. This is a focused style that again falls into the grapefruit pith style. Bitterness above all else. The fruit shows some promise with good persistence noted. Good, but nothing more. 13.5

Alexander Scott: Flatter profile than the Christman Deidesheim er Hohenmorgen; still very rich, but lacking the mineral extract that gives complexity of flavour. Longish, but not as uplifting on the finish. Is this another case of high sugar-ripeness without the complete phenolic ripeness that a longer grape-hang would have given? 14
