vinous 2018

Rating: 90 –90

From amid a meadow of flowers emerge a scent of mint and an anticipation of zesty, juicy lime. The palate impression is polished. A sense of airy openness persists into a finish that, 13% alcohol notwithstanding, isn’t in the least weighty let alone warm, and that integrates cooling and refreshing influences of the aforementioned mint and lime as well as a hint of smoke. This is the most immediately approachable and gentle rendition of Wagner’s “Porphyr” bottling that I can recall. But it’s also ultimately the least intriguing, displaying little of the dynamic interaction with pronounced impingements of a mineral sort that I have come to expect.

vinous 2017

Rating: 93 –93

Lime, white peach and apple on the nose translate into an infectiously juicy, invigoratingly zesty, piquantly pit-tinged impression on a polished palate. Bittersweet gentian perfume adds inner-mouth allure, while smoky and tinglingly stony notes lend tactile stimulation as well as fascination on a vibrantly sustained, mouthwateringly salt-tinged and consummately refreshing finish. This wine seems more buoyant and fleet-footed than its 12.5% alcohol would suggest.
