95 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Captivating aromas of a garden dripping with rain after a summer storm. Both very succulent and really elegant, the serious acidity lighting this up like fireworks. Brilliant and super-fresh, barely off-dry finish. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold. (7/19/21)"
95 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Norheimer Kirschheck Riesling Spätlese is clear, pure and intense on the nose like a fine Italian perfume on wet, crushed stones. Lush and round on the palate, this is a dense yet very delicate and dangerously juicy and stimulating mineral Spätlese that is irresistible. Impossible to spit out. This long and salty Spätlese is singing. 8.5% alcohol. Tasted at the domain in July 2021. Drink: 2021-2060. (Sep 2021)"
92 points Wine & Spirits: "Herbal and spicy, this is gently sweet, with notes of lemongrass tea and ginger that bring to mind paring with a Thai stir-fry. The flavors last, urged on and streamlined by the wine's citrusy acidity. This comes from a south-facing site of gray slate and sandstone named for the wild cherries (Kirschen) that grow nearby. (Summer 2022)"
