BUY THE WINE

Stephen Brook | Juicy lime nose with a slight waxiness, too. Plump and juicy, but there is a distinct lack of acidity and flair. I find this rather leaden for Riesling and thus a throwback to some of the heavy Kamptal wines from the past. And yet there is some minerality on the finish that gives it some nuance and persistence. | 88

Andrew Jefford | Mid-gold in color. Slightly raw, green aromas with a little evident free sulfur; angelica and quince behind. Rough and ready compared to the best of its peers. The palate, too, has a rather raw, half-finished quality to it, and for me the wine is clearly adrift of its Kamptal peer [Schloss Gobelsburg Ried Heiligenstein 1 ÖTW Kamptal Riesling Kamptal 2018], though it has admirable concentration and depth of lime-citrus fruit. Maybe some more bottle time would improve matters? | 86

Stephan Reinhardt | White-golden in color, brilliant. The nose is terribly pure, deep, fresh, and terroir-driven. Phenolic flavors and an immensely concentrated but spicy fruit. The palate is intense, pure, persistently salty, structured, and highly elegant. Unique style. The finish is not just salty but deep, intense, and structured by terroir and presumably old vines. There is a phenolic grip you don’t find in the wines before. This is traditional in a modern way. Healthy fruits, phenolic grip, and great aging potential. Kamptal Riesling in a new dimension. Still needs years to reach its peak. | 96
