93 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2020 Pinot Noir Herawingert, from a mix of slate and limestone soils, was grown at 300 meters. A touch of smoky black cherry announces ripeness on the nose. However, the palate is beautifully taut and stony, with a lovely finesse of tannins like silk threads stretched across hard rock. There is deep savor, profound fruit, much length and lovely freshness. This will need time to evolve charm from its present austerity. With delicate lift, all is here; all it needs is time. (Bone-dry) Drink: 2028-2050. (Jul 2024)"
93 points Jane Anson (Inside Bordeaux): "A barrel selection of vines from the upper part of the Herawingert vineyard, this is softly spoken, understated but with clear structure. Crushed roses and raspberries, smoky, with waves of cold ash and slate, charming rarther than overpowering, waves of grilled raspberry, sage, saffron, freshly cut herbs. Very charming. Dijon clones of Pinot, 40 years average age, planted on the warmest parts of this tiny vineyard of 4ha at 500m altitude in the Liechenstein Alps. Aged in a mix of 225l French oak and larger 500l oak casks, technical director Sebastian Gunsch. Alcohol 13%. Drink: 2025-2035. (5/20/25)"
92 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Deep crimson in colour with a broad and bright ochre rim. On the nose, aromas of fine red berry fruit, fresh cherry, floral nuances redolent of jasmine in the background with some tangerine zest. The palate is elegant and juicy, with fine acidity, subtle strawberry-cherry confit notes and a saline mineral finish. (10/7/23)"
90 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "This maturing pinot noir has a very savory nose with damp forest floor and discreet red berry aromas. Quite a firm tannin structure is packed into the sleek frame of this medium-bodied red, but the wine has the depth to carry this well. Long, moderately dry finish where the chalky tannins are quite pronounced. Drink or hold. (5/2/24)"
