Stephen Brook | Intense and dusty citrus nose, with a hint of talc. There’s richness and weight here, perhaps to excess, though it’s hard to argue with the opulence of fruit. A broader style that will please many, though I for one would prefer a bit more bite and tang. Still youthful and reserved, so there’s room to expand in terms of aroma and nuance. Quite long. | 91

Andrew Jefford | Bright silver-gold color. Slightly odd, malt-biscuit and silage aromas: unattractive. A rather strange, unsuccessful, and heavy, malty white, alas. | 74

Stephan Reinhardt | Clear, bright, and fresh yet ripe and concentrated on the nose. Very ripe, intense, and elegant on the palate, with a remarkable phenolic grip and lingering salinity this is an impressive wine but still in the Wachau context. Clear fruit, rich, fresh, and elegant but fruit-driven on the finish where, at least for my taste, a bit less could have been more. | 92
