Stephen Brook | Spry, waxy, appley nose, with welcome aromatic immediacy. Broad and supple, this has lavish fruit and the presumably loess soils contribute to the cushiony succulence. Very drinkable, but not a wine of great structure or depth of flavor. The modest acidity keeps it short. | 88

Andrew Jefford | Full, rich gold. Creamier and richer than any of the GVs we encountered from Vienna or Traisantal, this has lush, complex spice- and-fruit aromas, with plenty of bass notes. Some grassiness, too, though. Plenty to get your nose into, anyway, though satisfying rather than sublime. The palate is rather sinewy and coarse compared to the best of its peers, and the early season orchard fruits weighty, lacking zest and lift. An enjoyable wine nonetheless with fair concentration. | 85

Stephan Reinhardt | Oh, this is a beautiful nose! Ripe but bright and fresh and with wet and slimy earthy notes that are perfectly intertwined with the ripe and elegant Veltliner fruit whose finesse is remarkable. The attack on the palate is Riesling-like, with a nervy, very delicate acidity. The mid-palate is really intense and juicy and leads to a sustained, fresh, complex, and persistently salty finish with lovely healthy bright fruit aromas and stimulating bitters. A gorgeous wine. | 94
