Stephen Brook | This has a pleasing aromatic briskness, piquant and refreshing. The palate is surprisingly juicy, a good mouthful of fruit, but less nuanced and precise than the nose leads one to expect. But grapefruity acidity perks up the mid-palate and finish. A good wine for fairly early drinking, as it seems to lack the structure or grip for a long evolution. Moderate length. | 88
Andrew Jefford | Pale gold. Sweet, fresh, with some blossomy charm. A hint of musk rose, too; even tobacco leaf. The earthy touch is perhaps a little less appealing—damp earth. Fresh, vivid, cool, close-textured, acid-structured GV, with plenty of green pungency, cleanness, and length, though rather less aromatic charm than the aromatic profile had suggested might be on offer. Green apple again provides the fruit key (a Vienna trait?). | 86
Stephan Reinhardt | Dense and pure on the well-concentrated and limestone-driven nose, this Nussberg Veltliner is remarkably fresh and precise on the nose and displays nutty and yeasty notes. On the palate, this wine is still young if not closed, yet full of mineral tension, finesse, and vitality. Really remarkable in its future potential, and with a stimulating, sustainable salinity. A great wine that has not nearly reached its peak yet. | 94
