Stephen Brook | Bright appley nose with considerable zest. Rich and concentrated, but has drive and energy, withatangy underlying minerality. Manages to have the delicacy of Riesling combined with considerable force. Youthful and very well balanced, with some appealing piquancy on the long finish. | 17.5
Andrew Jefford | Pale gold. Fresh, pure, doughy, and very elegant: gorgeous aromatic finesse here. It is shy, but apart from that, everything is right; all the notes are there in bonsai or primeur form. On the palate, this is a super, super wine: wonderfully subtle fruits and a brilliant mineral spectrum, too. Despite its lightness and finesse, it is very complete on the tongue; such a delicate wine, yet so arresting in its rightness, poise, and finesse. Another wine I could sit and drink all day. If you’re a fruit twitcher, look out for orange, tangerine, and a richer style of nectarine than many—maybe even a hint of passion fruit. Brisk, clean finish; totally mouth-cleansing. Bravo to all concerned. | 18.5
Stephan Reinhardt | Pale silver-gold. Somewhat powdery on the nose, reductive style, some hints of leather. Rather lean and firm, very pure, well-balanced, reductive style, the wine is still shy (yet quite powerful) and drying at the moment. Citrus aromas on the finish. | 15.5
