95 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2015 Himmelreich Kabinett is a stunning young wine. The nose soars from the glass in the most vibrant and precise blend imaginable, offering up scents of lime, tangerine, beautiful slate tones, white flowers and a very discreet topnote of petrol. On the plate the wine is medium-full, suave and filigreed, with lovely mineral drive, superb focus and grip and a very long, racy and utterly classic finish. This has the dancing, ethereal beauty of Kabinett at its finest! 2021-2045. (Mar/Apr 2016)"
92 points James Suckling: "Very attractive apple-white peach character. Moderately juicy and crisp. Just off-dry (and therefore a flexible wine for the dining table). Very polished and elegant. Perfect now or any time during the next decade. (5/13/17)"
92 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 02 16. The 2015er Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett offers a superbly racy nose made of grapefruit, spices, fresh herbs, and fine spices. The wine is gorgeously fruity and playful on the palate, where zest and delicately citrusy elements mingle with a dash of creamy beeswax. The finish is precise, elegant, and hugely focused. Remarkably for the vintage, the wine remains completely true to its Kabinett Prädikat. What a great success! Now-2040. (Apr 2025)"

91+ points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2015 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett is very clear, fresh, fine and stony on the nose, but also pretty intense. Lush and juicy on the palate, this is a mouthful of Riesling that is balanced by its salty-mineral background and the filigreed acidity. The finish is long, complex and very well structured—and indicating a very good aging potential or 15 or more years. It has 7.5% alcohol and 55 grams of residual sugar. Drink: 2022-2035. (4/28/17)"
