94 points James Suckling: "All the dried fruit, brulee character and boldness we expect from a Burgenland BA!. Lush, creamy and concentrated with live-wire acidity that drives the very long, succulent and spicy finish. Drink or hold. (10/7/21)"
93 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "Blending 70% Welschriesling with 30% Chardonnay, the 2018 Cuvée Beerenauslese offers a fascinating, precise and spicy quince and refreshing lemon zest aroma and even salinity. Bottled with 135 grams per liter of residual sugar, this is a highly elegant, refined and perfectly balanced Cuvée with precision, lingering salinity and delicate freshness. Sustainable candied fruit aromas. This is a gorgeous BA that should go perfectly well with mature cheese, certainly Kaiserschmarrn (torn pancake) and salted popcorn. Tasted in February 2021. Drink: 2021-2040. (May 2021)"
93 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Medium golden yellow, silver reflections. Candied tangerine zest, yellow peach and pineapple, a touch of ripe passion fruit, and pleasing aromas of honey blossom. Juicy, with nuances of dried fruit, ripe tropical fruit, juicy acidity and a long sweet fruit-focused finish. Has very good ageing potential. (7/9/21)"
92 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$40 list] A lovely and graceful sweet-styled white, showing aromas of apricot and melon, with dried mango, mint jelly and spicy honey making it an intriguing drink. It is never over the top, but you definitely have to be into the style to appreciate this fully. Alcohol 10.5%. (Dec 2022)"
