Stephen Brook | Brisk, lively, and lifted nose, with scents of lime and apple. Unlike the nose, the palate is rich and forward, with considerable breadth of fruit. It’s quite concentrated, with a light mineral tone but not much weight or density. Relatively approachable for a young Wachau Riesling, but it seems balanced and reasonably long. | 89
Andrew Jefford | Mid-silver-gold in color. Sweet and fresh, with just a touch of doughy charm: pretty. On the palate, the wine is light and ballerina-like but with impressive intensity of grape, apple, and white-cherry fruit; acidity dominates the structure from start to finish, but it’s ripe and resonant acidity. | 90
Stephan Reinhardt | Bright yet ripe fruit aromas on the elegant nose of this 2018 Riesling from the Wachau. The wine is pure, fresh, and salty on the palate, showing a firm tannin structure and lots of power. It is bright and fresh but very ripe, showing some bitters on the finish. Still young, it will benefit from bottle aging. | 92
