BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford: Pale green-gold wine. Attractive, very clean, with plenty of thiols: leaf, grass, hay, sweet citrus. Lively, fresh, though rather sweetly grassy palate; impressive concentration, with a pulse between the grassy hay notes and the sweet lemon and tangerine. Tasty and delicious, though still fundamentally simple 14.5

Andreas Larsson: Good intensity and a hint of complexity on the nose; fresh yellow fruit, mango, passion fruit, and a notion of minerality. The palate has a nice mouthwatering acidity and layers of yellow fruit. Good length and overall balance 15

Stephan Reinhardt: White color; very clear again. Rhubarb again on the nose, quite rich and sweet (due to alcohol?); concentrated. Very up-front on the palate; racy, quite mineral, very reductive, aromatic; a little bit drying in the finish. Red and green parts of the rhubarb stick, but in the end it remains rhubarb 14.5
