98 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2023 Schloss Johannisberg Purpurlack Riesling Beerenauslese is deep, precise and very concentrated on the savory and lemony nose that is reminiscent of crushed stones and candied lemon and pink grapefruit peel. Lush and highly refined and elegant on the palate, this is a light and filigreed yet also intense and stimulating bitter as well as saline BA that is much more savory and saline than sweet or rich. This is a great precision work that can probably age for 200 years or more. (I once had an 1811 Riesling that was still alive yet not on this level.) This is gorgeous in all its finesse and lightness! The grapes were picked on a Sunday October 1, after the harvest team was already sent home. 6.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2024. Drink: 2024-2200. (Oct 2024)"
