Vinous - Score: 96+ (2019 January)

Deep golden-yellow. Orange marmalade, lemon curd, honey, orange zest and sweet spices on the knockout nose. Dense and heavy right now but offering lovely ripe pomaceous and tropical fruit flavors complicated by a touch of herbs. You can tell there is a familial link to Deiss’s Berckem wine; this is not unlike that one, but much richer, deeper and denser. Finishes zingy and fresh, with citrusy acidity nicely framing hints of caramel on the long finish. This is a knockout already, which is atypical; in my experience, you need to wait for this Deiss wine to show its full potential, and I’ve been fooled by it before when tasting it young. But not this time.
