Stephen Brook | Curiously waxy nose, with aromas reminiscent of the skins of red Canadian apples, though not to the extent of being confected. Juicy and super-ripe, this seems very forward, with low acidity and a distinct sucrosity. It lacks bite and tension and persistence. A crowd-pleaser, not my idea of Wachau GV. Moderate length. | 87

Andrew Jefford | Bright mid-gold. Fresh orchard fruits, with some ground-hazel richness and soft spice: quiet and unshowy, but attractive. Some spring- bulb plantiness, too. Vivid, lively, deep, searching, with plenty of forthright vigor and push, all built around a sound core of rich, orchard fruits. There are vanilla and hazel notes on the finish. Exciting, vigorous wine. | 90

Stephan Reinhardt | Bright and clear on the reductive palate. Juicy, round, and pretty rich on the palate, this is a well-made and powerful Veltliner, with elegance and a certain finesse but lots of drive and salts. Needs time. | 92
