97 points Ulrich Sautter (Falstaff): "On the nose ripe red apple, apricot, white flowers and flint. On the palate taut, juicy fruit, fresh, great density, vivacious grippy acidity, superb mineral savoury slate tones, concentrated extract. Great length. Wow! (11/15/21)"
96 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Penetrating herbal freshness and a stunning combination of vibrancy and mineral intensity make this a very exciting wine already, the long finish as clear as a mountain stream. Great potential. From organically grown grapes with Fair’n Green certification. Drink or hold. (11/23/20)"
95 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "From 80- to 85+-year-old vines on red slate, the 2019 Marienburg GG Rothenpfad is pure, very fine and flinty on the crystalline and concentrated yet pure, complex and still reductive nose. Silky, round and very elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, crystalline, juicy, persistently salty and structured Rothenpfad with great elegance, intensity, warmth and balance. Impressive—and surely exceptional with fresh porcini. Tasted at the domain in September 2020. Drink: 2025-2045. (Oct 2020)"
19/20 points Michael Schmidt (JancisRobinson.com): "Aromas of green and yellow fruit mix it with flinty minerality. The palate shows a little more fruit than the straight Marienburg, grapefruit with peel and pith, but without any tropical aspirations. Nuances of salt and quinine give an almost medicinal tang, but a generous texture makes the medicine go down without any resistance. Very cool, the essence of mineral Riesling. Drink: 2021-2028. (8/25/20)"
