Nicolas Belfrage: (cc: water-pale = 1; deep gold = 9) cc3. Pungent floral character, very Alsace. Good balance between residual sugar and acidity, with plenty of flavor behind. This would be the archetype of good Alsace PG if it were not quite so dry, creamy, layered, and long. Unusually, it could even improve in bottle. Drink on its own or with rich fish dishes-16.5

Marcel Orford-Williams: Very yellow. Sweet ’n’ sour. Tetchy, dry, but a bit soulless. Not quite clean; mushroomy finish. No real charm-12.5

Joanna Simon: Bright, pale straw. Very aromatic: nutty, fragrant, fresh, pure. Concentrated, vibrant, well-corseted fruit; spicy and mineral, with pithy lime-peel acidity. Intense, well defined, elegant. Long-17
