Andrew Jefford: Full gold in color. Sweet, warm, doughy scents with plenty of appeal, though not a lot of focus or precision. A lovely gentle drift through sweet scentlands. On the palate, the wine is rounded, soft, warm, very secondary—just a memory of peach rather than the peach itself. Convincing, though, and there’s a delicious minerality here. Plenty of alcohol warmth would make this a jovial mealtime wine, but aesthetically it is well incorporated. Rich, mouth-filling finish, with some vanilla intrigue. Weighty and unvarietal, but I am assuming very true to site and place. A lovely drink, too, though it needs respect. 16.5
Andreas Larsson: Excellent purity and intensity on the nose, with elegant fruit and stony notes; great grip on the palate, really structured, with good extract, ripe stone fruit, and mouthwatering acidity; a very long finish, youthful and vibrant, but with great potential. 17.5
Stephan Reinhardt: Bright golden color. Sur lie aromas, well-concentrated fruit and peas. Rich and racy on the palate; dry, very yeasty, and quite unfinished; a little bit drying out on the finish. Good wine, though a little bit rustic perhaps. One will anyway have to wait for another three or four years to discover the real merits of this wine. 16.5
