BUY THE WINE

Stephen Brook | Vibrant apricot nose, and herbal without being herbaceous. Rich and concentrated, this has underlying firmness and vigor, as well as breadth of fruit. Perhaps a touch more acidity would be welcome, but it’s balanced, with a fairly long, nutty finish. | 90

Andrew Jefford | Pale to mid-gold. Clear, fresh, and full: fine fruits and a tobacco-leaf warmth. Very soundly appealing. Clean, fresh and pure: a tight-drawn skin of flavor for GV, with less texture than many, yet the concentration, purity, and finishing flavory complexities are very impressive. This pristine, tight-drawn style makes it a GV for Riesling lovers. | 90

Stephan Reinhardt | Intense, super-ripe, and concentrated on the nose, this Veltliner reflects the extraordinary warm and early vintage, exhibiting some tropical- fruit aromas intermixed with weathered stones. Full-bodied and powerful on the palate, this is a firm and mineral Veltliner, with a clear, bright fruit, a long and intense finish, and a sustainable, stimulating salinity. | 92
