97 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "A fabulously ripe yet delicate apricot nose, then enormous concentration and great balance on the palate with an extremely streamlined, super-long finish. This was pressed with a huge, 350-year-old wooden press, and that doesn't strike me as a gimmick, but rather it has helped the wine to reach this extraordinary harmony. Drink or hold. (10/1/17)"
96 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "Pressed with the 350-year-old wooden press and aged for 18 months in traditional oak, the intensely citrus-colored 2012 Im Weingebirge Riesling Baumpresse opens with a beautiful nose of deep, elegant and finessed Riesling flavors intermixed with marjoram aromas. What great finesse, elegance and purity! On the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich but pure and elegant, highly finessed and salty Riesling with great complexity, tension and finesse. It has a firm but still filigreed structure and very fine tannins that are intertwined with the perfect fruit ripeness and concentration. A great dry Riesling from the Wachau! Drink: 2017-2037. (Aug 2017)"
