98 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "A very compact wine for this category with tremendous concentration of dried peach, apricot and pear, plus a very tense balance of fruit and radical acidity that requires some years of maturation to bring to full harmony. Better from 2022. (8/6/20)"
95+ points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Auslese is concentrated and precise on the stony-flinty and grapefruit-scented nose that conveys purity and precision. On opening, the palate is generous, lush and silky but precise and finessed, with great elegance and finishing touch. The finish is salty, precise, piquant and already stimulating, with perfectly healthy raisin and grapefruit flavors on the aftertaste. 8.5% alcohol. Tasted from AP 26 20 in April 2020. Drink: 2030-2060. (Aug 2020)"
18/20 points Michael Schmidt (JancisRobinson.com): "With repeated swirling an initially shy fragrance opens up to reveal a whole range of fruit aromas, from ripe peach and yellow plum to the downright tropical mango and orange. On the palate the Gräfenberg Spätlese has all the fruit, from fleshy apricot to sweet juicy orange, but it is its tantalising vibrancy that takes it to another dimension. Acidity takes its role to perfection when it is there, but not noticed, in total harmony with a well-pitched measure of residual sugar. Drinking Window: 2020-2030. (8/25/20)"
