97 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSucklling.com): "Still shy on the nose, but there's an entire microcosm of citrusy character in this cool-headed beauty. Long, puristic, crystalline finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Respekt certified. Better from 2019. (9/19/18)"

94 points Wine Spectator): "[$79 list] Beautifully knit, offering rapier-like focus and razor acidity slicing through the flavors of white cherry, geranium and passion fruit. Silky in texture and very elegant, but full of flavor, with great concentration and length. Thyme and mineral accents linger on the finish. Best from 2020 through 2029. 300 cases made. (6/19/19)"

18/20 points Michael Schmidt (JancisRobinson.com): "On the nose the Meerspinne is a little less fruity than some of Christmann's other Grosse Gewächse – not to its detriment though. Herbal and mineral aromas give it an intriguingly cool aura. On the palate, fruit is given a little more leeway – subtle notes of melon and peach. The herbal-mineral combination takes over the finish. Drinking Window: 2018-2026. (8/27/18)"
