92 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "An elegant, sleek and silky dry Mosel with such charming floral, herbal and white-fruit aromas. For those sensitive to sweetness this will seem medium-dry, but for many wine drinkers this will be dry enough. Drink or hold. Screw cap. (8/4/21)"

91 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The Tradition bottling falls between Kabinett and Spätlese in must weight and the 2020 version is very stylish, coming in at 11.5 percent alcohol in this vintage. I do not know its acidity and sugar levels, but it seems quite dry on the palate. The wine delivers a fine constellation of lime, pear, fresh mint, cress, a lovely base of slate, just a hint of bee pollen and a delicately smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is vibrant, fullish and still fairly tightly-knit, with good depth, excellent mineral signature, snappy acids and superb length and grip on the long and promising finish. This will need bottle age to blossom, but it is a very fine bottle. 2028-2065. (Jan/Feb 2022)"

90 points Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2020er Brauneberger Riesling Tradition, as it is referred to on the consumer label, comes exclusively from the main Brauneberger hill (Juffer and Juffer-Sonnenuhr) and stopped its fermentation at 15 g/l of residual sugar. It offers a superbly refreshing and complex nose of lemon, grapefruit, herbs, yellow peach, pear, and bergamot. The wine develops quite some creamy and ripe fruity presence on the palate where the sweetness is nicely wrapped into almond cream. The finish already hints at beauty to come even if the mineral side is only slightly noticeable at this stage in the aftertaste. This off-dry wine will benefit from a few years of cellaring in order to reveal its inner balance. 2025-2035. (Sep 2021)
