BUY THE WINE

Stephen Brook | Very ripe yellow-fruits nose, mirabelles and apricots. The attack is supple and juicy, less vibrant and taut than expected. Indeed, there is a slight soupiness here, and a weak softness of texture. There’s little energy or drive, nor much extract or minerality. A shame, as the fruit quality is attractive. | 88

Andrew Jefford | Mid- to deep straw-gold. Complex, full, and rich: a beautiful weave of apple, peach, honey, cardamom, and barley sugar. Classical and fine. Generous, deep, honeyed, and mellow, though with less absolute fruit intensity, for example, than [Franz Hirtzberger Ried Singerriedel Riesling Smaragd Wachau Spitz 2018]. This more than makes up, though, with its nuts and white- chocolate richness and doughy, vanillic finish. Gorgeous and toothsome. Another outstandingly seductive effort, which trowels on the layers and the pleasure. | 93

Stephan Reinhardt | Golden-yellow in color and with a deep, fine, and elegant bouquet of white-fruit and tea-leaf aromas, this is a very elegant and substantial Riesling, with a lingering salinity, purity, and finesse. Powerful and rich, as well as tense and salty. Rich but promising. | 93
