94 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Super sleek and super minerally with lovely, lemony freshness. Yet, this is neither sweet nor tart, rather elegant and very filigree. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. (9/16/20)"
93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "As I mentioned last year, the Leistenberg vineyard has the oldest vines of all the Dönnhoff parcels and these old vines seem to really be handling the new realities of global warming beautifully. The 2019 Kabinett comes in at nine percent alcohol and delivers a superb aromatic constellation of apple, white cherry, a bit of wild yeasts, spring flowers, bee pollen and a lovely base of slate. On the palate the wine is bright, fullish and filigreed, with lovely intensity and bounce, zesty acids, lovely focus and grip and a long, complex and perfectly balanced finish. As always, this is a first class example of Kabinett. 2020-2050+. (Jul/Aug 2020)"
90-91 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Riesling Kabinett Oberhäuser Leistenberg is pure, precise and flinty on the coolish and stony nose. Juicy, precise and flinty on the palate, this is an elegant, crystalline, very intense and charmingly juicy Kabinett with a long and aromatic finish. Highly attractive as always. Tasted as a sample in Bremen, April 2020. Drink: 2020-2035. (Aug 2020)"
