93 points David Schildknecht (Vinous): "[$34 list] Honeydew and kiwi are mingled with pineapple and lime for an impression at once tropically ripe yet tangy and bright. The feel is flatteringly satiny. Suggestions of quince jelly and an unexpected hint of caramel emerge on a finish that is otherwise lusciously rich yet animatingly juicy and features an active sense of stony mineral impingement as well as mouthwatering salinity. Drink: 2020-2040. (Nov 2020)"

92 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 05 19. The 2018er Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Spätlese was harvested at 90° Oechsle, and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a gorgeously ample nose made of vineyard peach, apricot, whipped cream, flowers and smoke. The wine proves nicely zesty but develops the creamy side of a light Auslese on the palate. It leaves one with a nicely juicy and playful feel of apricot and pear as well as herbs in the long finish. 2028-2048. (Aug 2019)"

92 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "A unique Spätlese, full of fresh herbs and even a touch of mowed lawn. Reductive, flinty and very subtle, this has a laser-sharp attack of acidity that takes the mouth aback, but it’s only medium-bodied and has a soft sensation of sweetness on the finish. Drink now. (12/16/19)"
