Stephen Brook | Aromatic nose, with peardrop aromas that are slightly confected. But the attack is fresh and nimble, with reasonable concentration and some depth of flavor. It does lack some energy and punch, but it’s accessible for those who like their Wachau young. Medium length. | 88
Andrew Jefford | Pale to mid-gold. A soft but attractive profile of citrus and hop oils (English aroma hops like Goldings or Fuggles). Quietly enticing. A lovely palate: very bright with acidity, and a real sense of poised, cusp-ripeness here, energetic and dancing. The apple fruits (less citrus here than in many; just a little lemon) are impeccably defined, and dominate the palate with just a little vanilla sparkle. Pure, refined flavors that linger long. An outstanding effort and the clearest evidence you could have that Riesling distinguishes itself with absolute clarity here from GV. | 92
Stephan Reinhardt | Deep, pure, and intense on the nose, this opens with a super-ripe and spicy bouquet. The palate is lean and aromatic, with super-ripe and overripe fruit aromas, but also a remarkable acidity. Pure and exciting but needs time. | 93
