93 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Graacher Riesling feinherb shows a pure, bright and coolish bouquet with just-ripe fruit aromas intermingled with flinty and discreet oak notes that complete the nose beautifully. Bottled with 17 grams per liter of residual sugar, this is a dense, round and intense, beautifully textured and balanced Riesling with a stimulating, saline and finely tannic finish. This is a beautiful off-dry Riesling that is already a rounder and also slightly more complex Graacher (predominantly Himmelreich) compared to the dry selection. This 2021 should be cellared for 6 or 7 years, but it has the potential to refine over decades. 10.5% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted in July 2022. Drink: 2030-2050. (Aug 2022)"
93 points Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2021er Graacher Riesling Feinherb is an off-dry wine made from fruit harvested mainly in the Himmelreich. It offers a beautifully fresh and minty nose of wet sone, stone fruit, lozenge, white peach, lime, and lime tree. The wine has great energy and presence on the palate, while the wine maintains a great sense of airiness and lightness. The finish is beautifully long and focused and leaves an already dry and sharp taste of spices and fine herbs. This is a truly remarkable dry-tasting wine. 2023-2031. (Jun 2022)"
92 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Striking nose of crisp pear, parsley and spring meadows. All at once this is wonderfully juicy, very vibrant and crystalline. Long, very crisp, but polished finish. An expressive and well-structured wine that many years ahead of it. 100% from the Himmelreich GG site. Drink or hold. Screw cap. (9/8/22)"
90+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2021 Graacher Feinherb has a touch more residual sweetness than the Trocken bottling, as this wine comes in at 10.5 percent alcohol in this vintage and probably carries somewhere around twenty grams per liter of residual sugar. The wine is youthfully complex on the nose, offering up scents of apple, pear, lime peel, lilacs, a lovely base of slate and a touch of wild yeasts in the upper register. On the palate the wine is vibrant, pure and medium-full, with a lovely core of fruit, dancing minerality and grip, bouncy acids and lovely filigree on the long, complex and beautifully balanced finish. I love the balance of this wine. 2023-2050. (Mar/Apr 2023)"
