| Description: | 94 points James Suckling. Fragrant yet tightly focused, this captures the grapey aspect of this grape, but also offers delightful mandarin, nectarine and blossom notes. The concentrated yet lively palate has a riesling-like texture, the minerals building beautifully on the long finish. A rare dry muscat with aging potential. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (11/2020) 94 points Wine Enthusiast. Smoky, funky reduction still completely clouds this wine's nose. Underneath that, slight notions of honeysuckle and citrus can be discerned. The bone-dry palate speaks of rounded richness, despite its relative slenderness, but a core of lemony brightness bathes everything in freshness. Tender spice and citrus zestiness tingle on the long finish and promise future joy. (ak) (11/2020) 91 points Vinous. The 2018 Muscat Goldert is exotic and beautifully perfumed, not as generous on the palate as the aromatics suggest. Jasmine, lime, mint and petrol emerge with a bit of coaxing. This is an especial dry, bracing style. (ag) (10/2020) 90 points Wine Spectator. Well-cut and lip-smacking, this dry Muscat offers fragrant orange peel and lemon thyme notes on the nose, accenting the crunchy white peach, blood orange grantita and saline flavors on the palate. Drink now through 2024. (5/2021). |
