95 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "This has a lot of smoke and spice, even a hint of gunpowder. More importantly, this has great balance although it is much less sweet than most. A rare savory element for the grape. Then there's the complex texture in the mouth that's beautifully interwoven with the acidity. Drink any time between now and 2035. Made from biodynamic grapes, Ecocert certified. (6/21/17)"
93+ points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2015 Gewurztraminer Hengst is pure and flinty on the nose, perfectly ripe and precise. Full-bodied , round and piquant, this is a tension-filled, sweet and vital Gewurz with grip and fine tannins. Tight and long. A gorgeous wine! Drink: 2018-2035. (Feb 2017)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "[$80 list] A lovely, elegant white, with a skein of spice unraveling through the flavors of glazed apricot, lemon chiffon and orchard blossom, this shows deft integration of the finely honed acidity. Mouthwatering, honeyed finish. Drink now through 2027. 250 cases made, 50 cases imported. (2017)"
