96 points Stephen Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Nierstein Pettenthal Riesling "GG" is deep and flinty on the excitingly complex, precise and crunchy nose that offers lemon zest and slatey aromas. Silky and round but very intense and elegant on the palate, this is a rich and full-bodied but highly finessed and balanced Riesling with a crystalline structure and lingering salinity. Very long, intense and powerful but always fine. Great wine. Tasted at the domaine in March 2020. Drink: 2023-2040. (May 2020)"
95 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Beautiful mineral notes here of slate, chalk, wax and flint. Behind that is wonderfully bright citrus and jasmine character. Bone-dry and very edgy on the palate with a powerful smack of acidity to drive this home to a long, filigree finish, characterized by a touch of peach-pit on the aftertaste. Drink now or hold. (12/16/19)"
18.5/20 points Michael Schmidt (JancisRobinson.com): "On the nose still quite reductive, but not with the polarising funky pungency which out-of-control ambient yeasts can produce, but instead a fresh green-herbal expression. The palate follows suit with a cool and crunchy presentation of herbal and vegetal flavours, but leaving enough room for flinty minerality to add value. Well-preserved acidity adds further edge and finesse. Drinking Window: 2021-2030. (8/27/19)"
