94 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Auslese * (Green Capsule) is still discreet but concentrated and fine on the densely mineral nose that reveals notes of crushed blue slate, slate oil and dense Riesling aromas. Round, dense and savory on the palate, this is a mouth-filling, very fine and elegant Auslese with fine phenolic grip on the finish. 9.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2023. Drink: 2023-2050. (May 2023)"
93 points Ulrich Sautter (Falstaff): "Initially rather restrained on the nose, after aeration revealing juicy aromas of Mirabelle plums, ripe citrus fruits, and meadow flowers. The finely drawn palate shows real finesse, with invigorating acidity and evident citrus fruit and spice notes. Finishes long. Alcohol 9.5%. (11/21/22)"
92+ points Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2021er Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese * (Green Capsule) offers a beautifully complex and aromatic nose of yellow flowers, candied grapefruit, lime, minty herbs, and smoke. The wine is dynamic and zesty on the palate, and before showing more depth and cream join the party. The finish is still herbal and slightly harsh at this early stage. It needs a few years in order to integrate its elements and has some upside potential. 2026-2036. (Dec 2022)"
