Stephen Brook: Rich, waxy, peachy nose. A big, ripe style, with luscious fruit and a creamy texture. Concentrated and firm, this has good structure and a lively minerality to balance the evident ripeness. This manages to be imposing and elegant at the same time, and it is exuberant without being overblown. An excellent wine that seems sure to age well. 18
Simon Larkin: Ripe, almost heady, and powerful on the nose, where there is a character of ripe peach and apricot. The fruit on the palate follows in a similar vein. This is a broad wine, with layered fruit and ample peach/citrus rasp. Not overly mineral, but there is a piercing quality to this wine. A very lively Riesling, with the ability to age. 14.5
Andreas Larsson: This feels very late-harvested, with hints of tropical fruit, botrytis, and some oily, smoky notes. Complex on the palate, very rich and assertive, with great freshness, persistence, and complexity on the finish. Not an easy wine, but very good if you like this style of full-bodied, late-harvested Riesling. 17
