Elegant, refined and pure. 18/20

Dveri Pax Riesling Old vine 2015 14.0% From a 40 year old, extremely sloped vineyard near Maribor. Slightly wet wool, unclean aromas and unclear varietal characters indicated this was not as well focused as the wines above. 14/20

Dveri Pax Riesling Old vine 2017 14.0 % From a 40 year old, extremely sloped vineyard near Maribor. Reduced sulphide characters marred aromas. Similarly the wine proved overly tight and unwilling to show its best. Perhaps with a bit more time it would have opened into something as promising as above 2016/18s. 14.5/20

Dveri Pax Sauvignon Blanc 2018 12.5% Grapes come from Jeruzalem region. Initially offering up subtle spearmint, fruity aromas, grassier, more herbal notes developed with airing. Nice fleshy textures are cut with fine, firm, tart acidity. Nice wine. 16/20

This wine is fuller and rounder than 2018 with smokier, flintier, more savory aromas. Full bodied with textures laden with alcoholic viscosity, it also had a degree of lees driven creaminess. Flavors are on the minerally side of ripe gooseberry fruit carried through a long, clean finish with relatively low acidity. Interesting wine from a what seems a hot vintage in a cool region. 17/20

Dveri Pax Pinot Noir 2012 13.0 % Shows nicely transparent Pinot colors. Typical Pinot red fruit aromas are a little too dominated -- to my taste -- by toasted oak characters.  tannins from oak. Similarly I’d like to feel and taste fruit more than oak tannins. One senses new barrels were overpowering that vintages fruit. Would love to taste more recent PN developments. This example is aiming in the right direction but not quite there. 15/20
