Alex Hunt: A very peculiar nose here: lime chutney and lavender. Strikingly aromatic but also a bit flat and woolly, like a Riesling costume that has frayed and sagged over time. The palate follows suit, speaking broken Alsacienne rather than any dialect of the Rhône. The structure is lean, the flavor citrusy, but there’s a lack of precision and real aromatic freshness. 82

Andrew Jefford: Bright steel gold. Lively, forthcoming aromas of chilled cream and pounded hazels and almonds; sweet, fresh, and enticing. Best meadow flowers of all the flight, too; this would smell good in a flight of white Hermitage. Vivid and lively blend with some textural depths and exactly the aroma and flavor spectrum the scent of the wine held in promise; super-drinkable in style. Delicious and again very true to the Rhône ideal. An outstanding effort. 92

Peter Liem: This is quiet and reductive, and its orchardfruit flavors feel a little constrained, accented by hints of green, sweet-herb notes. While this is pleasant, it makes me wonder if it would have benefited from later picking: I appreciate lowalcohol wines, but was this sufficiently developed at 12.5%? 87
