99 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Such an intensely spicy nose with very attractive fresh minerals and dried apricot, as well as orange marmalade and mangoes. The palate has an incredibly silky and long run of ripe fruit. So immensely sweet and, yet, the big surprise here is the acidity. It is the highest level they have ever had for TBA at this winery – 13.2 grams per liter, and 324 grams of sugar. The acidity has the final say. It actually finishes dry. Wow. Phenomenal. Age this a long, long time. (12/16/19)"

98+ points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Halenberg Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese is incredibly pure and aromatic on the nose where super ripe but clear peach aromas are displayed. Extremely rich and refined on the palate, this is a ripe, terribly sweet but refined, fresh and salty-piquant TBA with a stimulating finish. A fabulous wine. Tasted in July 2019. Drink: 2030-2100. (Oct 2019)"

97 points David Schildknecht (Vinous): "Peach jam and orange marmalade are prominent in the bittersweet, cooked-fruit but zesty personality of this super-concentrate from a mere hundred liters’ worth of tightly shriveled berries gathered over an extended period and pressed with great difficulty. A white-bread-like aura of yeastiness serves as a noble aromatic expression of botrytis, while an influx of caramel further highlights the impression of botrytis ennoblement, complemented by a feel that is strikingly creamy as well as viscous. An aromatic evocation of sea breeze anticipates the mouthwatering salinity that, along with bright, juicy lemon and orange – testimony to the 13 grams of acidity that have, as it were, been held in reserve – informs this elixir’s superbly sustained finish. One’s mouth is left at once creamily coated and tingling as if from a lightning strike. (Jun 2020)"
