96 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Slightly funky, but brimming with blossom and berry aromas, this is concentrated, finely etched and super-mineral, with a breathtaking finish that makes you think you are drinking slate. Drinkable now, but best from 2023. (8/30/21)"
95+ points Falstaff Guide (10/1/21).
94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2020 Niederberg Helden from Thomas Haag is a lovely and quite svelte GG, coming in at 12.5 percent octane and delivering a superb aromatic constellation of lime, tart orange, slate, beautiful botanicals, citrus zest, a dollop of petrol and just a hint of mossiness in the upper register that is exotic and extremely attractive. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and marvelously precise, with a superb core of fruit, great mineral drive and cut, laser-like focus and a long, snappy, elegant and beautifully complex finish. This is stunning juice. 2028-2075. (Jan/Feb 2022)"
93 points Stephan Reinhadt (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Niederberg Helden Riesling GG shows a coolish, even minty nose of broken slate and ripe, rich and intense fruit. Full-bodied, dense and structured on the palate, this is a dense and more muscular Helden that needs some years to refine and open up. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022. Drink: 2025-2040. (Aug 2022)"
93 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 30 21. The 2020er Niederberg Helden Riesling GG, as it is referred to on the consumer label, is beautifully reductive and only gradually reveals a refined and captivating herbal and smoky notes of minty herbs, lime, white flowers, cassis, gooseberry, and almond. The wine is superbly balanced and proves both slightly creamy and fruit driven but also fresh and focused on the palate. The long finish is fully dry, deep, and complex. This is a great dry Riesling in the making. 2025-2040. (Sep 2021)"
