    98 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "A very great Mosel Auslese with the combination of enormous concentration, exotic ripeness and vibrancy that we expect from the very top producers of this style. What a fantastic interplay of grape sweetness and aromatic richness with an underlying slatey acidity that makes this so pure and straight. Drink or hold. (11/13/23)"

    95+ points Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2022er Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese GK was made from shriveled rather than botrytized fruit and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a superbly refreshing and pure nose of candied lime, tangerine, pineapple, spearmint, lavender, cassis, acacia, lime tree, rosemary, and dried apricot. The wine proves superbly concentrated and focused and leaves a very intense and almost broad feel of honeyed exotic fruits. The finish has huge length and intensity. This is a hugely impressive Auslese GK. 2032-2072. (Dec 2023)"

    93 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2022 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese Goldkapsel, made with about 30% botrytis, does not give much away on its closed nose. Still, the ripest peach, edged with orange zestiness, is luminous on the palate, encompassing tart-sweet fruit and the slightest lift of botrytis. Concentration and slight viscosity with intense sweetness and honey are edged with citrus. (Luscious) Drink: 2025-2050. (Oct 2023)"

    93 points Wine Spectator: "[$240 list] Alluring and unctuous, this opulent version drips with fruit and boasts a fine structure. A supple mix of apple, peach and passion fruit flavors are cut with zesty citrus-laced acidity, while an herbaceous thread weaves through alongside perfumy elderflower, smoke and flint notes. Despite its sweetness, this offers delicacy and brightness. Drink now through 2045. (2/28/24)"
