100 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The grapes for this non-botrytized BA were harvested at the beginning of November this year. The wine is utterly brilliant, offering up a pure and complex nose of white cherries, mango, pineapple, salty minerality, apple blossoms and a topnote of honeycomb. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, bottomless and amazingly vibrant and precise, with racy acids, truly stunning minerality for a BA and great length and grip on the perfectly balanced finish. This is breathtakingly beautiful! 2019-2100. (Mar/Apr 2019)"

98 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Wild aromas of puff-ball mushrooms and spice, which means full botrytis. Lemon peel and candied citrus. Full-bodied, very sweet and powerful. Yet, its tangy and bright. Energetic. Crazy sweet wine. 1500 half bottles. Drink if you can find it. Great wine. (12/16/19)"

97 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Beerenauslese is from grapes that were reserved for Eiswein. Picked in November, when the hope for ice wine had died, this is a highly concentrated yet pure and spicy-aromatic BA with some volatile notes on the nose. Rich and sweet on the palate, this is a sweet yet pure and salty-piquant, playful and tensioned BA of great class and concentration. This is very clear and piquant and concentrated with healthy, botrytis-free berries. Still Riesling and surely Brücke and doubtlessly great, with a laser-like precision and definition. Fabulous. Tasted in July 2019. Drink: 2020-2080. (Oct 2019)"
