Lobenberg: Blasses Goldgelb mit grünem Schleier. Sehr intensive Nase, Quitte, Birne, Aprikose, etwas Rosmarin neben Zitronengras und etwas Akazienhonig. Schöner Druck im Mund, Karamell, Honigmelone, tolle Länge zeigend. Rassiger Antrunk. Immense Länge, beeindruckende Rasse. Der Wein singt und hat diese wunderbare frische Intensität. Ganz klar einer der besten weißen Chateauneuf, groß! 95/100

-- Parker: Reminding me of the 2012, the 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc, which was just bottled two weeks ago, has fabulous richness and depth in its honeysuckle, tangerine, white flowers and buttered almond-like aromas and flavors. It too shows the freshness and purity of the vintage, with integrated, yet juicy acidity, good concentration and serious length. It will be better in another year or so, drink nicely for 2-4 years, and then all bets are off. At that point, it’s best to cellar for a decade. 94/100

-- WS: Ripe and lush, with delicious Jonagold apple, creamed pear and melon flavors. Shows a buttered edge on the finish, delivering hints of verbena and bitter almond for contrast. Drink now through 2020.— J.M 93/100
