98 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "What an exquisite stone fruit nose this super-fine and filigree dry riesling has! Yes, it is also very concentrated, but this and the power are completely underplayed. The result is an almost weightless palate that hangs like a white cloud in the still air. Extraordinary purity and precision at the almost endless finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. (8/7/23)"
96+ points Ulrich Sautter (Falstaff): "Floral on the nose: wild rose, but also lemon blossom, blood orange, even raspberry. The palate sets in smoothly, then adds a dense, fine-grained and mineral-textured extract to the bunched construction, finishing terpenic and compact. Superb! (11/11/23)"
94-96 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2022 Riesling Norheimer Dellchen Grosses Gewächs unites volcanic and shale soils. The site benefits from underground aquifers. The nose opens with a smoky slate note leading to the lemon- and lime-edged ripe stone fruit. The entire impression is one of yellow-fruited, ripe juiciness. This verges more and more into a yellow spectrum of citrus, perfumed and almost tender. The palate keeps this juicy fruit and dips it into tingling saltiness. Generosity, ripeness, saltiness and textural elements of pear peel and citrus zest unite into a very energetic, driven, almost urgent wine. The finish on the tongue is linear, but the aromas expand and take flight. (Bone-dry) Drink: 2027-2050. (Sep 2023)"
