BUY THE WINE

Stephen Brook | This seems slightly overripe on the nose with its peach and apple compote aromas. A bit sweet on the palate, too, and slack thanks to its lowish acidity. Disappointing, lacking in force and personality and structure. | 86

Andrew Jefford | Mid-gold in a relatively deep gold (Spitz/ Spitzer) flight. Fresh, pure, mellow fruits; beautifully defined and sustained, with none of the exaggeration or freakiness that can beset wines at this level. Apple, nectarine, and peach: spot on. This casts the perfect fruit spell. On the palate, it is richly fruity, intense, deep, pure, and seductive. I doubt there is a wine here that has more intense fruit essences than this, and you can’t but revel in them. They are southern, Danubian, ample, citrusy, as well as orchard, comforting and comfortable; pristine and pure, with superb definition. Very fine work here. | 94

Stephan Reinhardt | Ripe tropical-fruit aromas, with mango and crystalline terroir flavors lead to a rich and fruity, pretty tropical bouquet. The palate is pure, fresh, and salty, but also powerful, rich, and aromatic. | 92
