99 JS / 97 VM / 17.5 JR Welcome to the riesling deep end! Try to climb out if you can, but I don't want to! Although this is almost 20 years old there's a kaleidoscope of dried fruit aromas which also make this one of the...
95 JS / 95 WE / 92 WA Did somebody say lobster thermidor? A noble grüner veltliner that is so ripe (apricot, mirabelle and just a hint of papaya), but every bit as subtle, with a very polished texture on the rich...
97 WE / 96 JS / 93 WA #36 James Suckling's Top 100 Wines of Austria 2020 A still shy nose is not ready to give up its secrets easily, despite much swirling and air. It is the palate that lifts the veil on the citric...
