Stephen Brook | Breezy nose, ripe citrus with a dash of spice. Up front and juicy, this is dominated by primary fruit, so there is little subtlety or complexity. Citrus gives a Riesling footprint. A solid mouthful of wine, to be sure, and there is a light acidic backbone and minerality, but they don’t come across with sufficient force. Quite long. | 89
Andrew Jefford | Pale bright gold. Lots of bulb-like hyacinth and jonquil aromas when freshly poured, though these “ferment” aromas clear after a while. Vivid, fresh, and lively on the palate, but little aromatic intricacy or embroidery here. Refreshing, lively drinking nonetheless, with both zest and zip and a Danubian wealth of fruit—apple, pear, plum. | 87
Stephan Reinhardt | After some really terroir-driven wines, this is a bright, pure, and fruity Kamptal Veltliner that brings back spring into your glass. Crushed stones here as well. On the palate, this is a rather lithe and fruity Veltliner that lacks the depth and complexity of the former wines. It’s enjoyable but rather simple in its dimensions and structure. Still very good and delicate, but not really dramatic. Some just-ripe or even greenish flavors here as well. White apples. Green skins. | 90
