93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2018 Krötenpfuhl GG is absolutely superb this year. The wine is very pure on the both the nose and palate, with the bouquet delivering a lovely mix of pink grapefruit, tart orange, salty minerality, a touch of wild yeasts and a topnote of citrus blossoms. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very well-balanced, with a lovely core, ripe, vibrant acids and great focus and grip on the long, nascently complex and very elegant finish. Superb juice. 2026-2060. (Mar/Apr 2019)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "[$61 list] Tightly wound, with a suave texture and piercing acidity cutting through the ripe citrus and yellow apple flavors. Notes of shell and wet stone are introduced toward the finish, as this wraps up on the savory side. Shows complexity and length, but needs more time. Best from 2023 through 2033. 190 cases imported. (6/30/20)"

92 points Fine Wine Review: "Floral nose. Good acidity, white fruits, medium-weight. (9/29/19)"
