Stephen Brook | The nose is very ripe, with apricot and apple compote aromas. Rich but assertive, with a firm attack, and the ripe fruit is supported by impressive but ripe acidity. There’s no softness or slackness here. There’s a certain grandeur as it cruises along the palate, joining fruit with minerality and leading to a long, dry, and almost austere finish. Imposing. | 93

Andrew Jefford | Delicate mid-gold. Ravishingly perfumed and intense: beautifully ripe orange and tangerine fruit and Cox’s Orange Pippin fruits, too, with intense floral aromas of freesia and violet. Just a little vanilla cream behind. A gorgeous aromatic profile, and it’s very hard not to leap into the wine after smelling this. So, in we leap... I’m not, in fact, quite as enthusiastic about the palate as about the aromatic profile, though it is very good: ringing, resonant, bell-like, and retaining many of the floral notes that were apparent on the aroma. But the acidity is very dominant in its overall structural build, and for me it finishes just a little bit hard—though in aromatic terms it is one of our leading wines. Fine concentration, too. This is perhaps a wine to keep longer, to see if it can dredge up a little intercellular fat and richness with time, which is not apparent as yet... | 91

Stephan Reinhardt | This Riesling is more reductive on the concentrated and flinty, spicy nose. The palate shows a pure, fresh, and lean character, with good freshness and a bright fruit. Pure and salty on the long and fresh, yet not super-complex finish. | 92
