94 points James Suckling: "Great nose of very ripe sour cherries and orange peel with delicate, spicy and earthy notes. In spite of all the ripeness and the generous body, this is cool and very fresh, the tannins and savory notes making it even more appealing. Plenty of minerality at the long, crisp finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. (12/8/20)"

93 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "From the long-awaited red wine super vintage, the 2018 Pinot Noir Bollenberg is beautifully intense yet fine and charming on the nose, with perfectly ripe dark cherry and berry aromas intertwined with toasty notes and the limestone finesse of the Bollenberg terroir. This is a noble and seductive bouquet that makes you want to take a sip immediately. Silky, refined and elegant on the palate, with intense and well-concentrated, perfectly ripe fruit that is wrapped with very fine tannins and delicate acidity, this is a gorgeous Alsace Pinot Noir that is perfect to drink now, but it can be aged for at least a decade. Highly recommended. Tasted in May 2020. Drink: 2020-2035. (Oct 2020)"
