Andrew Jefford | Bright pale lemon-gold. Very pure creamy lime. Not a multidimensioned aroma, but terrifically good and very attractive. There is a little of the finest grass (I mean lawns not cannabis) you can imagine, very sweet and spring-perfect. Tangerine peel and tobacco leaf behind: grand complexity, in other words. A splendid fresh firework of fruit in the mouth, filling your aromatic sky with dripping lime and peach and nectarine and milled apple peels. There is just so much strength of fruit here that you know that it must be a very special site and a gifted viticulturist/ winemaker. Driving and long and fine; vinous. Dauntingly good. | 96
Stephan Reinhardt | This intensely yellow-colored Riesling opens with a clear, intense, and complex, lovely, fresh, and aromatic bouquet with immediately attractively flinty notes of crushed limestone, lemon juice, milk, and oat flakes. Silky-crystalline and with a stringent acid structure, this is a round and intense, mouth-filling, and remarkably finessed Riesling, with an enormously long and salty finish. In short, this is a great, substantial, and ageworthy Riesling of great complexity. 2021–50. | 95
Anthony Rose | Pale lemon and lime in color. The aromas of this wine express citrus and sweet capsicum in equal measure and behind them a faint whiff of... er... yes, Riesling; there’s an appealing light spritz on the tongue to bring an immediate hint of freshness, and the fruit itself, largely citrusy but with some stone fruit, too, is ripe and richly concentrated, energetic in its intensity of flavor and saline, dry finish. | 95
