Score 91/100 · Drink 2020-2038, David Schildknecht, Vinous, Apr 2020

Kiwi, lime, white currant and honeydew melon on the nose anticipate an impression on the glossy palate that is at once lusciously ripe and brightly tingling. Sweetness is entirely supportive despite its analytically high level. The vibrantly and refreshingly sustained finish harnesses lime zest, kiwi seeds, nettle and apple seeds for a sense of invigoration. In musical terms, a very treble wine, though, for now at least, not one revealing of the depth, especially in a mineral dimension, of which Grünhaus Riesling Spätlese is famously capable.

Score 17/20 · Drink 2021-2030, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Jun 2018

RS 70 g/l. Complex fumy herbal aroma. Spicy ripe lemon veering to orange and apricot. Intense. On the palate, sweet and yet lemon-crisp on the finish. Cool, clear and poised. GV (JH)

Score 95/100 · James Suckling, Jun 2018

Slightly funky from the wild ferment but very succulent and racy. Crystalline purity at the super elegant finish, which shows great herbal and mineral complexity. Drink or hold.
