95 points David Schildknecht (Vinous): "The scents and flavors here deliciously resemble that of cinnamon- and lemon-zest-tinged, lightly singed purple plum pastry. And as is often the case with Riesling from this site, there is also a high-toned suggestion of plum and poire distillate. The palate displays a striking combination of succulence with textural gloss and animating acidity, while a penetrating, cheek-tugging, mouth-shakingly invigorating finish incorporates delightful and unexpected cooling notes of wintergreen as well as delivering loads of stone and mouthwatering salinity. Drinking this (yes, I swallowed some) left me feeling both renewed and a bit wrung out. Drink: 2017-2040. (Mar 2018)"
94 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2016 Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Spätlese has a very delicate slate and ripe yet fine Spätlese aroma. Lush, round and piquant on the palate, the 2016 reveals an exciting mineral freshness and attractive juiciness, with crisp and stimulating fruit notes. The finish is tight, fresh and grippy, indicating very good aging potential. I’d recommend cellaring this wine for at least another 10 years. Tasted March 2018. Drink: 2028-2050. (Apr 2018)"
93 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 04 17. A whiff of volatile gives way to a delicately exotic nose driven by apple, pineapple, mango, papaya, passion fruit and pear as well as a dash of tangerine and smoke in the background. The wine is quite creamy with a hint of apricot and honey wrapping up some juicy pear on the palate. It leaves a zesty and nicely complex feel in the long finish. This is a slightly more exotic expression of braune Kupp than in recent years with a touch of Auslese GK aromatics rounding off the wine. 2026-2046. (Jul 2017)"
93 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "The ripe apple, clove and cinnamon notes makes this very appealing and the elegant balance of fruit and acidity is also spot on, making this an easy wine to drink right now. However, if you've got the patience, this will go for a couple of decades. (6/7/17)"
