BUY THE WINE

Stephen Brook | Delicate and charming apricot nose from a ripe and graceful vintage. Broad and fleshy, this is softer than expected but has welcome succulence and sufficient acidity. It’s evolving quite fast, though has sufficient concentration to keep it on a plateau for a while longer. | 90

Andrew Jefford | Mid-straw-gold. Earthy, deep, malty, warm: characterful but slightly over-cooked aromas, which lack a little freshness and lift. I appreciate it is aged, but the fruit has disappeared somewhat and this is just a little jammy. On the palate, too, this is a rather elemental wine, which is falling back on its component parts and does not make a good case for age. | 83

Stephan Reinhardt | Here we are in another playground. The wine displays a mature and oxidative nose of oak-flavored mirabelles. Silky, round, and mature on the finessed palate, this Veltliner has some features of mature Champagne. It is nutty, pure, and tensioned, pretty advanced already. Oxidative flavors. | 92
