93 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "This is a compact and solid white with dried-peach and canteloup aromas and flavors. Mineral undertone. Medium to full body. Hefty, medium-sweet Kabinett with a flavorful finish. Drink now. (12/16/19)"
93 points David Schildknecht (Vinous): "'I had a tiny share of Klamm for many years,' noted Dönnhoff, 'but it went into our Gutsriesling' After acquiring a second parcel, he replanted it, and those vines have only been in production for a few years. Then an old-vines holding in this estimable Einzellage was acquired from Luisa von Racknitz, at which point, in 2017, a significant share of Klamm fruit was shunted into Dönnhoff’s off-dry Gutsriesling. Now, for the first time, the Dönnhoffs have essayed a dedicated bottling. Nut extracts and pit-inflected white peach make for a bittersweet cast, while the richness and succulence of fruit displayed on a buoyant, silken palate is enlivened by a squeeze of fresh lime. Smoky, stony and mouthwateringly saline nuances delightfully complicate the luscious, seductively sustained finish of this delectable gem. What an auspicious debut! Drink: 2020-2032. (Jun 2020)"
92 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "From a one-hectare plot with younger vines on porphyry soils, the 2018 Niederhäuser Klamm Riesling Kabinett is open, bright and fresh on the nose, with ripe fruit but also remarkable smokiness, elegance and polished character. Lush and round but crystalline and fresh on the palate, this is a charmingly elegant and fruity Kabinett with frisky salinity on the finish and nice mineral grip. Very attractive and fresh. Tasted in July 2019. Drink: 2020-2030. (Oct 2019)"
92 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The new addition to the Dönnhoff family’s vineyard family is really lovely this year, offering an interesting Kabinett from volcanic soils to go with the classic slate of the Leistenberg. The bouquet here is bright and complex, wafting from the glass in a mix of apple, a touch of fresh pineapple, lovely minerality, a hint of orange peel and a topnote of white lilies. On the palate the wine is medium-full, crisp and beautifully balanced, with lovely intensity of flavor and backend bounce, excellent focus and a long, complex finish. Lovely juice. 2019-2050. (Mar/Apr 2019)"
