Stephen Brook | Ripe apple and apricot nose, though it doesn’t show much lift or piquancy. Rich and generous, this is concentrated and forceful, withataut structure rather than strong acidity to give it some drive. The ripe stone fruits are persuasive, and there is a welcome sweet and sour tone on the finish, which does show some length. | 91

Andrew Jefford | Bright pale gold. This has alluring, enticing, but rather forceful aromas of lemon pastille, verbena, oil of orange, and Cascade hops. Aromatically very resourceful. After a little while in the glass, this heady torrent of aromas calms somewhat and something more fine-grained and sculptured emerges: sweet vanilla cream laps around citrus ice. Very appealing scents, unique, very Danubian also in its melange of the freshly fruity and the satisfyingly rich. On the palate, this is an excellent and exciting wine, a starburst of citrus and apple, which nonetheless contrives to cruise through a lengthy central palate profile toward something structured, vinous, sustained, and food-friendly. Maybe a little stony and saline, too, though those aren’t the front-of-house notes. An impressive Kamptal Riesling. | 91

Stephan Reinhardt | Radiant yellow color. Late-picked Riesling aromas, with stony intertwined with ripe and concentrated stone-fruit scents. Intense and complex, even somewhat flinty. Traditional, very elegant style. The palate is pure, fresh, and salty, pretty complex and highly digestible. This makes it already a great pleasure to drink. The salinity on the finish is really remarkable, and so is the acidity, which is stunningly fresh and coolish for a warm vintage like 2018. | 92
