96 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "A stunning Spätlese that’s brimming with stone fruit and cassis. Great concentration and very vibrant acidity result in a dramatic wine that makes a bold statement. Very long, pure herbal-mineral finish. Decades of aging potential. Drink or hold. (3/9/21)"

93 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 05 20. The 2019er Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese GK was made from slightly botrytized fruit harvested at 98° Oechsle in the west-facing part (Niederemmel) of the vineyard, and was fermented down to almost noble-sweet levels of residual sugar (100 g/l). It offers a gorgeously aromatic and inviting nose made of elderflower, apricot blossom, melon, and delicate elements of almond cream. The wine proves gorgeously creamy yet also remarkably zesty on the palate, and leaves a superb feel of passion fruit, pear, and honeyed cream in the long and nicely focused finish. Zest adds focus to the aftertaste. This Auslese in all-but-name will prove hard to resist at maturity! 2029-2059. (Jun 2020)"

92+ points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Spätlese (Gold Capsule) opens with clear, fresh and attractively concentrated but sufhuric fruit on the nose, which isn't everybody's cup of tea, though. Sweet and piquant on the palate, with concise acidity and a linear course over the palate, this is a juicy yet piquant and salty as well as grippy Spätlese with lingering salinity. Very young but with great aging potential. Tasted at the domain in September 2020. Drink: 2030-2050. (Oct 2020)"
