Stephen Brook | Ripe apricot and quince nose, heady and lifted. Rich and juicy, this also seems a touch sweet despite a burst of acidity on the mid-palate. It’s youthful, with plenty to give, and that citric acidity should keep it from becoming cloying. A different vintage, of course, and one with more tension and vibrancy. Still needs time, but it should unfurl nicely. Long, subtle finish. | 92
Andrew Jefford | Pale, bright, and silvery. Clean, fresh lime with a little oatmeal richness: ample straightforward appeal. Intense, bright, tight- squeezed lime juice, with just enough dessert- apple sweetness to save it from being mouth- puckering. Clean and lean: the new Danubian look, perhaps. High quality here, though, with excellent fruit purity. | 90
Stephan Reinhardt | Bright color, bright and fresh white- fruit aromas on the elegant, pure, and well- concentrated, also stony nose. Very fruity on the palate, this is a piquant, fresh, and reductively styled Riesling, with a lingering salinity and somewhat rustic grip. Not very long. | 89
