95 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "From 74-year-old vines (the first vineyard replanted after WW II in the then Himmelsleiter), the 2019 Mülheimer Sonnenlay Riesling Alte Reben feinherb is intensely aromatic yet pure, fine, fresh and coolish on the spicy and flinty nose that reveals fascinating fruit aromas and great terroir expression. Just fabulous! On the palate, this is an intense, rich and sweet yet finessed, highly complex and concentrated as well as piquant and tensioned Sonnenlay grand cru with power, grip and pure terroir expression, and it ends with lingering salinity, concise and crystalline acidity and mineral tension. This is a great wine, and it can—or should—be aged for decades. Tasted at the domain in September 2020. Drink: 2030-2060. (Oct 2020)"

94 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "The refined aromas of mandarin, lime and a slew of fresh herbs are married to a wine that has the stature and concentration of a GG, with slightly less dry balance. For a non-famous site this wine is very striking and expressive. The long, very clean finish is both complex and food-friendly. From vines planted in 1947. Drink or hold. (4/12/21)"
