Score 96/100 · Drink 2025-2060, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Dec 2021
From the Achleiten at 460 meters above sea level, the 2020 Riesling Smaragd Wachstum Bodenstein opens with an intense, ripe and fleshy yet coolish, refined and elegant bouquet of white peaches and perfectly ripe apricots. The palate is crystalline, fresh and piquant, quite tight and salty, with firm and fleshy fruit aromas intertwined with a delicate juiciness and the crisp fruit flesh around the pit. A great wine. Tasted at the domain in June 2021.

Score 96/100 · James Suckling, Sep 2021
So much Amalfi-lemon, lemon-blossom and white-tea character. Cool, sleek and very tightly wound with major minerality. Super-crisp, in spite of the considerable power. Intense rock-salt and green-apple finish. Drink or hold.
