98 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "Bottled in June 2019 after 12 years in a large oak vat, the 2007 Riesling Steinriesler is from the Vom Stein in Mautern and exhibits an intense and matured bouquet with caramel and leathery/feral as well as concentrated fruit but also crystalline, stony aromas. Deep, coolish and elegant. On the palate, this is a crystalline, refined and pure, very complex and concentrated wine with a great and complex finish that is structured, still tannic and seriously biting but with the right concentration and power for a long-distance run. It is mouth-watering, enormously tensioned and pushing on the finish. A great dry Riesling for real Riesling lovers. The wine should be decanted for maybe a day or two. 12% alcohol. Tasted at the domaine in June 2021. Drink: 2021-2060. (Dec 2021)"
96 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "This aged riesling is now showing quite extraordinary dried-apple, pear and peach character with stone, mineral and subtle flint undertones. It’s full-bodied and layered with lots of dried fruit and a persistent, flavorful finish. Yet, it’s always subtle and focused. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (7/19/21)"
