Stephen Brook | There’s a ripe and gentle character to the stone-fruits nose. Supple and approachable, it seems a touch slack for Wachau Riesling and lacks some drive and tension. Plenty of ripe fruit, to be sure, and fair acidity, but less persuasive than many others, and less concentrated, too. Fairly long. | 88
Andrew Jefford | Pale silver-gold. Lots of those typically post-fermentative hyacinth and jonquil aromas: attractive but quite commonplace. Zesty and fresh, with some citrus, as well as an attractive dessert-apple sweetness. Not hugely subtle, however. | 87
Stephan Reinhardt | Intense yet pure on the nose, this is a rich and round, pretty sweetish and juicy Riesling, with the richness and power of Veltliner. It’s powerful, textured, and sexy—but Riesling? Needs time. | 92
