Andrew Jefford | Pale gold in color, with quite rich fruits; sweet and succulent and almost chocolaty. Clean, pure, and articulate, though there is perhaps a little too much aromatic sweetness and not quite enough fruit support. Full, deep, expressive, with the complexity coming not so much from intricacy or fruit or from acid balance as from noble bitterness. I like the wine more in the mouth than I thought I would from the nose. It is very complete and attractive on its own terms, and it would drink very well. There is not a lot of weight there, so for me it is Rhine rather than clearly Alsace or Germany, though if I had to plump for one or the other, it would probably be a riper site in Germany. | 92

Stephan Reinhardt | This is a pretty reductive Riesling on the nose, revealing bright and fresh fruit aromas along with phenolic and oxidative Sherry and champignon notes. Round and lush on the palate, this is a full-bodied, lush, and concentrated but also round and juicy Riesling, with a dense and fleshy but also closed and phenolic finish. The texture is rather lactic right now and the phenolics rather drying. This is not showing well here today, even though the wine has structure, salt, vitality, and aging capacity. It just seems to be down at this stage. 2025–40. | 92

Anthony Rose | Pale lemon-lime in color. This is showing subtly attractive underlying notes of citrus peel and smokiness. There’s a faint spritz on the tongue, and the fruit is opulently full-bodied, but with fruit richness rather than residual sugar sweetness. This citrus-packed fruit is nicely underpinned by juicy fresh acidity, which provides just the right balance and a refreshing impression of dryness on the finish. | 93
