Stephen Brook | Ripe apricot and pear nose. The attack is spicy and almost racy, with fine concentration of fruit and a mineral undertow. Fairly lean in structure, it nonetheless has abundant flavor and intensity. There’s admirable tension here and a good acidic backbone that gives persistence. Still rather raw and youthful, this should evolve well. | 93

Andrew Jefford | Pale silver-gold. Forceful, slightly phenolic aromas of fruit and spring leaf; much less attractive than most. The palate, too, is rather forced and hard, lacking intricacy and grace. | 81

Stephan Reinhardt | Intense in color and rich on the dense and aromatic nose, with its very ripe fruit aromas. This 2018 is a ripe and concentrated Veltliner, with purity, finesse, and mineral tension on the finish. It’s still Veltliner rather than anything else (terroir), but it is pure, salty, and rich, with fine tannins on the slightly too sweetish finish. | 90
