96 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "This is like a whole garden of fresh herbs bathed in morning dew plus a touch of fully ripe gooseberries. This starts quite round and very silky on the medium-bodied palate, then the energy and structure gently build to a serious crescendo. Fantastic harmony right through the very long finish. Drink from release. (8/8/24)"

94-96 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2023 Riesling Bad Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl comes from the steep south-facing part of this site of poor gravel and quartzite. Due to dryness in 2022, this was not made as a GG last year; however, 2023 provided sufficient moisture so the GG could be made again, exclusively in stainless steel. The nose has the slightest hint of smoke, arranging itself beside restrained citrus freshness. The palate hones in on that citric, lemony note. This is mouth-watering, bright and beautifully ripe on a slender, almost sinuous but contoured body. (Bone-dry) Drink: 2028-2060. (Sep 2024)"

93+ points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2023 Kreuznacher Krötenpfuhl Riesling trocken GG is deep, clear, fresh and even coolish on the intense and savory, slightly vegetal, elegant, complex and promising nose. On the palate, this is a round and intense, well-concentrated and finely juicy yet refined and elegant Riesling intermingled with fluent minerals that lead to a long, intense and balanced yet also tensioned and finely saline finish. This is an excellent Krötenpfuhl with a mouth-filling texture that includes fine grip and ripe, elegant acidity. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in August and October 2024. Drink: 2028-2050. (10/31/24)"
