95 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Light greenish yellow, silver reflections. Delicate notes of yellow stone fruit, a hint of pears in the background, subtle candied orange zest. Complex, juicy, fine fruit sweetness, finesse-rich structure, lively, delicate lime in the aftertaste, an animating, multi-faceted food companion. Alcohol 13.5%. (6/24/24)"
94 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2023 Grauburgunder Smaragd is from a northeast-facing site on loamy, calcareous, water-retentive soils. Tenderly scented lemon is all the nose gives away, atypically but enticingly. The palate comes with gorgeous astringency and impressive contour on the ripe, juicy mid-palate. This is the most atypical, fresh yet generous Grauburgunder with a graceful phenolic structure. (Bone-dry) Drink: 2028-2053. (Jul 2024)"
