    October 11, 2023 - Nectarine, apple and lime with upfront impact that quickly fades. Relatively low acidity levels and fairly short finish. After the initial hit it’s a bit subdued and lacking some class. Better with moderately spicy food. Drink to 2025. 89-90pts

    August 25, 2022 - Subtle white nectarine with a delicate whiff of kerosene. Texturally light as a feather, crystalline, white nectarine and shot through with slate and minerals in the midpalate, good balanced acidity, nice length. Simply a joy to drink now, “soaring” a lovely descriptor from HRH.

    February 24, 2022 - Beautiful, rich Kabinett, representing this warm vintage very well. Not as lightweight and airy as other vintages, but with a lot of fruit, depth and density. Good length, potential for at least another decade.

    July 14, 2021 - Compared with Weiser- Künstler Ellergrub Kabinett 2011. Cleaner, crisper, more mineral. To my taste better, but that is me.
