96-98 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Chartreuse yellow with a silver sheen. Fine yellow peach nuances, a hint of tropical fruit, subtle blossom honey, a hint of candied orange zest. Full-bodied, elegant, white stone fruit, a structure full of finesse, mineral and lemony, light-footed, strong ageing potential. Alcohol 13.5%. (6/24/24)"

95-97 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2023 Riesling Loibenberg Smaragd is picked in one parcel of poor soil that is steep and a complete suntrap that becomes shaded in the afternoon, mixing the warm site with a cooler element. Yeast and a touch of passion fruit foliage set the tone on the nose. The palate is a picture of slenderness, tautness, citric tension and freshness. A stony backdrop heightens that sleekness and has the name Alzinger printed all over it. Taut, fresh and zesty. (Bone-dry) Drink: 2028-2053. (Jul 2024)"
