94 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "[$115 list] The 2022 Riesling Westhofener Kirchspiel Grosses Gewächs is from this east-facing site, with just 30cm of topsoil on limestone. A slight reduction marks the shy nose. The palate is slender but concentrated. A notion of green and yellow apple peel insinuates itself on the textured palate, presenting apple skin - perhaps this wine's guise of the phenolics - alongside the mouthwatering fruit that hovers between apple and citrus and a notion of lemon balm. The mid-palate is concentrated, very straight-shooting, linear and driven. The 2022 is cooling and has much energy. (Bone-dry) Drink: 2028-2050. (Sep 2023)"
93 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 17 23. The 2022er Kirchspiel Westhofen Riesling GG, as it is referred to on the front label, has a very delicate and finely aromatic nose of William’s pear, almond cream, spearmint, thyme, candied lime, and lavender. The wine is superbly precise and focused on the zesty and comparatively light-weighted palate. The finish shows however good depth and delicacy, and the after-taste is just slightly sharper to give the wine a crisp and fully bone-dry tasting side. This superb expression of Kirchspiel GG shines through its usual finesse and elegance. 2027-2042. (Sep 2023)"
