95 points Stephen Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Juffer GG is deep, intense, clear and elegant as well as spicy on the nose that reveals tropical fruit aromas along with some herb and yeasty notes. Crystalline, pure and salty on the palate, this is a rich and powerful, very intense and persistent Juffer that is spectacularly good this year. Tasted in Wiesbaden in August 2021. Drink: 2026-2045. (Sep 2021)"
95 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "The Mosel equivalent to Corton-Charlemagne in Burgundy. This is so focused and has so much primal energy. Very firm core of minerals, fine tannins and citrus-zest character on the medium body, which also power the very long, crisp finish that’s rather bold. Drink or hold. (8/4/21)"
93+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2020 Juffer Grosses Gewächs from the Haag family is quite dry this year, as its 7.4 grams of acidity were balanced off by only 2.7 grams per liter of residual sugar. The wine comes in at 12.5 percent octane and delivers a simply superb aromatic constellation of pink grapefruit, tart orange, limepeel, a beautiful base of almost salty soil, cress, elder flowers and just a touch of incipient smokiness. On the palate the wine is elegant, young and full-bodied, with excellent mid-palate depth and mineral drive, lovely acids and grip and a long, complex and beautifully balanced finish. This is going to be a superb wine, but give it some time in the cellar to allow its secondary layers to emerge. 2028-2085. (Jan/Feb 2022)"
92 points Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2020er Juffer Riesling Trocken GG, as it is referred to on the consumer label, was fermented and aged in a mix of stainless-steel tank, Fuder, and large oak barrel. It offers a refined and beautifully restrained nose of bergamot, anise, white flowers, minty herbs, and pear. The wine is elegant and rather light-weighted on the juicy and almost suave palate. This makes for a dry rather than bone-dry feel, even if the finish shows good focus and freshness as herbal and zesty elements show up. The aftertaste is superbly clean, spicy, and dry-tasting. This light and elegant version of dry Riesling will be superb in a few years. 2025-2035. (Nov 2021)"
