93 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "This has very attractively fresh and poised lime aromas with a steely and gently spicy edge, too. The palate has a very rich, yellow-fruit layer with some chalky mineral-tinged citrus below. Drink or hold. (7/21/19)"

92 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2016 Riesling Clos Liebenberg Monopole shows intense yet pure and elegant fruit aromas of crushed stones (limestone notes again) and dried apricots and mirabelles with a piquant terroir. On the palate, this is a medium-bodied and rather creamy, less tensioned Riesling compared to 2015 and even 2014. The wine is delicate and reveals a certain mineral grip and salinity, but it doesn't reach the heights of its neighbors. This is pretty pure and acidic. Tasted in May 2020. Drink: 2022-2032. (10/30/20)"
