Stephen Brook: More golden in color than most. Heady peach and pineapple nose, some quince, too. Surely this has some botrytis? Very rich, supple, and sweet, this is no longer in the category of dry table wine. Don’t attempt with fish or white meat, but save it for the cheese. Positively Alsatian Vendange Tardive in style. Since the label calls the wine Lieblich, one has to accept it for what it is, though it is atypical. 16.5

Simon Larkin: Very deep in hue, with aromas suggestive of Pinot Gris, with some mushroom and yellow plum. On the palate, there is notable botrytized fruit and some significant residual sweetness, rendering it difficult to taste in the context of the flight. Rich, layered, and with admirable concentration; I find this a little cumbersome without the verve one would like to see. Concentrated, yes, but lacks precision. Good length. 13

Andreas Larsson: Intense and sweet on the nose, with hints of candied fruit and honey. The palate is sweet and unctuous. Not a typical Grüner but nicely made in an Auslese-style, with a long and spicy finish. 14
