Stephen Brook | Bright but ripe appley nose. Fine attack, limpid and pure, with good acidity and drive. Quite mineral, too, though it does seem somewhat one-dimensional. Clearly very young, and it may develop more nuances with age, but at present it exhibits primary fruit and some structure. Good length. | 16.5

Andrew Jefford | Pale gold. Into Clare territory: the apple note always smells like what are called russet apples in the UK, and Canada apples in France; intrinsically spicy, in other words, or faintly musky—you could smell it either way. And either way, it draws you into the glass. On the palate, this has (after Western Australia) an arresting concentration, fullness and thickness; there is real palate wealth here. The complexities on the palate always suggest a stoniness to me. This seems admirably complete, pithy, and balanced. Fine Riesling with zest, poise, and drive. Perhaps a little one-dimensional, but it’s taken that dimension as far as it can go. | 17

Stephan Reinhardt | Pale gold. Showing very ripe and heavy fruit aromas, this is definitely not a cool soul. So what? This is a full-bodied wine, far from being big or fat. Thanks to the concise acidity, this wine seems much leaner and purer than it is: full-bodied, with good length, some salty impressions in the aftertaste. Still young. Good grip. Remarkable acidity. | 15.5
