93 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "A wonderful Kabinett for this very moment! Floral and ripe-pear nose, then a juicy yet very clean palate with spot-on balance at the long, citrusy finish that feels feather-light. Drink now. (9/16/20)"

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "A crush of earth and salty minerals introduces this luminous, almost crystalline sip. Just a hint off dry, it offers piercing, sun-drenched flavors of white peach and honeydew against a spine-tingling backbone of lime and lemon. Effortless and thirst quenching, it's an irresistible wine in youth but structured enough to hold beautifully through 2030 at least. Alcohol 8.5%. (Jul 2021)"

93 points The Tasting Panel: "[$28 list] Fresh yet rich, with lively acidity and lots of charm. (Jul/Aug 2021)"

92+ points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 07 20. The 2019er Saarburger Riesling Kabinett was harvested at 87° Oechsle in the Rausch, and was fermented to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar (50 g/l). It offers a gorgeous even if still slightly reduced nose made of herbs, spices, pear, citrusy elements, and elderflower, all wrapped into firmly smoky elements at first. The wine is delicately playful and subtly multi-layered on the slightly creamy palate, and leaves a stunning feel of apricot and whipped cream in the long and hugely engaging finish. This hugely impressive fruity-styled wine reminds us of the great light-footed Auslese which we tasted from this Estate, in their youth, in the 1990s. It could eventually even warrant a higher rating: The potential is that high! 2029-2049. (Jun 2020)"

92 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Saarburg Riesling Kabinett is bright, refined and crystalline on the nose. On the palate, this is a light and filigreed yet juicy, refined and salty Kabinett with a delicious finish with grip and just the perfect amount of residual sugar. Highly stimulating. 8.5% alcohol. Tasted from AP 07-20 in April 2020. Drink: 2020-2036. (Aug 2020)"

91 points Wine & Spirits: "This feels like a cloud, puffy and delicate, weightless but very much there if you pay attention. If you do, you may appreciate the breezy delicacy of its herbal, floral white-peach notes, and the way it leaves you feeling refreshed, as if visited by a quick summer rain. (Feb 2021)"
