93+ points Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2021er Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Spätlese has a beautifully complex and appealing nose of almond cream, candied grapefruit, orange zest, thyme, fine spices, jasmine, and acacia. The wine coats the palate with riper fruits and proves superbly creamy and intense. There is energy and finesse coming through in the very long and pure finish. This will need a couple of years to integrate its elements before it truly delivers and it even has some upside potential. 2031-2046. (Dec 2022)"
92 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The reduction has already receded on the 2021 Riesling Bernkasteler Lay Spätlese, revealing ripe and sunny fruit that references golden Mirabelle tinged with fresh orange peel and a streak of lime. The sweetness still carries a touch of yeasty richness, a textural element grounding that shining fruit a little but lending the slightest note of welcome apple pip bitterness. A textural, aromatic Auslese, edged with brilliant acidity but a dispersed finish. Severely limited quantity, not widely available in most markets. (Sweet) Drink: 2028-2045. (Jun 2023)"
