Stephen Brook | Juicy apricot and apple nose, fruity rather than mineral. Plump and broad, with lower acidity than expected from Spitz. It lacks some tension, though there is ample dry extract. Not harmonious and a touch forward. Quite long. | 88

Andrew Jefford | Mid-gold. Striking, arresting aromas of malt biscuit (almost dog biscuit), ginger, crushed hazel, toasted grains, and milk chocolate: very articulate but a little idiosyncratic, and almost confronting. Vivid but still very malty on the palate, almost oddly so. Lots of good things here, too, notably a fiery bolt of acidity that carries the wine admirably and some luxury near-sweet flavors behind that acidity. But I find the overall maltiness somewhat disconcerting, and it doesn’t have the intercellular richness of the very best GVs in this tasting. | 85

Stephan Reinhardt | New terroir, new game. This nose is pure yet intense and displays a concentrated, fresh, and spicy bouquet of pure fruit aromas intermixed with cereal notes. Sweetish but elegant on the palate, this is a pure, fresh, and vital Riesling, with an immense density and power. | 92
