Wine Critic Reviews
Falstaff (93): Initially still closed on the nose, with aeration ripe citrus fruits, orange, later some mango, delicate minerality, light. Fine acidity on the palate, firm, grippy, mineral base, citrus fruit, balanced and long, Kabinett with certain ageing potential.
Wine Spectator (88): Professional review for the 2023 vintage.
