96 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "The extremely fresh white-peach, herbal and savory nose pulls you into this sleek and vibrant Spätlese that's brimming with white-flower and wet-stone character. Dances over your palate with the greatest of ease. Very long,pure and poised finish. Drink or hold. (9/21/21)"

93 points Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2020er Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a beautifully fragrant nose made of passion fruit, vineyard peach, pear, smoke, cassis, and herbs. The wine is superbly light-footed on the palate and delivers a stunning feel of fresh orchard fruits wrapped into a dash of herbs and whipped cream in the superbly juicy finish. A hint of apricot adds an exotic touch in the aftertaste. This gorgeous fruity-styled wine is all about filigreed complexity. 2030-2050. (Jul 2021)"

93 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese is clear yet pretty reductive on the nose and doesn't yet sing if poured straight from the just opened bottle. The palate is crystalline, fine and lush, very elegant and complex and reveals fine and salty grip on the intense and sustainable finish. 7.5% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in September 2021. Drink: 2026-2050. (Sep 2021)"
