95 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Beautiful transparency to the notes of riverbed, dried apples, white roses, nectarines and loquat. The acidity is very steely and might be too much for some, but we find it fits well with the underlying concentration and power of this riesling. Drink now or hold. (12/16/19)"

93 points Stephen Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Nierstein Ölberg Riesling 'GG' is clear and flinty on the slightly untamed but open and elegant, slightly crunchy/stony as well as herbal nose. Round and juicy on the palate, this is a rich and powerful, very intense and finely tannic Riesling with a still somewhat untamed but elegant character. Long. Tasted at the domaine in March 2020. Drink: 2021-2036. (May 2020)"

93 points David Schildknecht (Vinous): "[$85 list] Musky, fusel and bittersweetly gentian- and iris-like floral notes on the nose anticipate the intriguing multiplicity of flavors delivered on a flatteringly silken-textured, full but by no means heavy palate. As witnessed in a number of the wines that preceded this one in Gillot’s vintage 2018 lineup, welcome limey juiciness emerges midpalate and carries animatingly and refreshingly into a finish lent richness by appealing influxes of almond and white peach, and further intrigue by stone, coriander and linseed accents. There’s lots of sensual appeal here as well as flat-out refreshment. This unexpectedly surpasses its vintage 2017 predecessor by a significant margin. Drink: 2020-2030. (Nov 2020)"
