97 points Caro Maurer, MW (Decanter): "A classic beauty, even though Sebastian Fürst favours a high proportion of whole grapes. In the exceptional 2022 vintage, this approach blends seamlessly into the overall profile of ripe cherry fruit, freshly ground black pepper, and mallow blossom. The tannins are silky and fine-grained. A wine that can compete with the finest Burgundies. Drinking Window: 2024-2055. (8/25/24)"
96+ points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Spätburgunder Centgrafenberg GG offers a deep, fresh and spicy bouquet of ripe and concentrated sour cherries and crushed red sandstone with coolish and greenish or herbal notes. Full-bodied and lush yet also intense and refined on the palate, this is a silky textured, very elegant and finessed Pinot with crunchy tannins and stimulating salts on the long, intense and thrilling finish. As always, this is a great German Pinot Noir. It was bottled in March this year with 13% stated alcohol and a natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024. Drink: 2029-2055. (10/31/24)"
96 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Still very youthful, but the brightness is very striking for this hot and dry year. With aeration in the glass, the floral and sour cherry aromas expand and expand. Amazingly sleek and cool on the very concentrated, medium-bodied palate, this has terrific youthful energy and freshness right through the super-long precise finish. Drink from release. (5/30/24)"
