Nicolas Belfrage: (cc: water-pale = 1; deep gold = 9) cc3. Lovely herby pungency on nose. Great richness of fruit, some grasso, with good acidity to balance the experience. Residual sugar a touch excessive and not totally balanced by acidity. Everything an Alsace PG should be, except subtle-16
Marcel Orford-Williams: Very golden. Full flavor, rich, sweet, but quite high acidity, too, and not convincing. Short-11
Joanna Simon: Bright straw yellow. Very intense and concentrated, yet fresh. Rich, concentrated fruit: crystallized citrus fruit and crystallized ginger. Rich, intense, and weighty, but with underpinning acidity. An impressive, oneglass wine-16.5
