Stephen Brook | Subdued apple and apricot nose, not very expressive now. Broad and juicy, clearly very ripe, with succulent pear and citrus fruit. It’s not particularly racy or taut and shows the generosity of the vintage rather than great energy or persistence. Indeed, it does tail off on the finish. Drink young. | 87
Andrew Jefford | Bright gold with a little green. Honeyed, warm, almost savory aromas; some doughy freshness, too. Soft and low-focus, but attractive. That is what the palate delivers, too: well-rounded (in terms of fruit style rather than residual sugar) wine, mouth-filling and pure, with honeyed pear fruits. Lovely drinking here, though rather understated when you approach it. | 88
Stephan Reinhardt | The 2018 Nussberg Riesling is very ripe and intense on the clear and concentrated nose that clearly represents its Muschelkalk limestone terroir. On the palate, this is a full-bodied and textured Riesling, with a remarkable mineral complexity, tension, finesse, and lingering salinity and freshness. The finish is tight but also aromatic and sensual. A great wine from Vienna with a remarkable aging potential. | 93
