 Tasted by Seth Rosenberg on 5/28/2019 & rated 89 points: Nice to have some Riesling - pretty nose of classic Austrian Riesling: bright orchard fruits, shimmering, good minerality and some florals, some honey as well. The palate starts off nice and similar to the nose, but the honey and richness keep coming on and the wine gets a bit heavy and thick. Definitely the vintage. Some similarities to a Hirtzberger but those wines usually have a burning energy underneath that keep them more lively. Good but just that. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 4.5/6, Finish - 4/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 14.5/20. (1945 views)
 Tasted by Stefan75 on 1/28/2016 & rated 92 points: Great white wine and great riesling, excellent balance between fruit and sweetness but in general I do not think it evolves much with time (especillay when drunk next to a much younger vintage). The drinking window of these super-rieslings is either very long or I never had one in a mature state... (2673 views)

 Tasted by MQuentel@web.de on 10/14/2014 & rated 94 points: Amazing wine. A "Riesling Bull", thick, very rich but with a fascinating spectrum of flavours and a surprising freshness. Many different yellow and exotic fruits; high level of minerality. This wine shines in a dark night. Nearly no boytritis, no pertrol, again very rich but also precise; quite good acidity. Still very young and years to go. (2580 views)
 Tasted by Biglama on 1/24/2014 & rated 94 points: zeer schoon en zuiver, mooie diepgang, complexiteit en veel finesse (2453 views)
 Tasted by Stefan75 on 11/24/2013 & rated 93 points: From Mag., excellent balance between freshness and sweetness, much more accessible compared to hirtzberger smaragd hochrain opened the same day. (2238 views)
 Tasted by Eric Becker on 5/11/2013 & rated 90 points: in an awkward phase; quite reticent on the nose: no fruits, rather floral;
in the mouth very powerful, but quite balanced; the 14 ABV are in check with the moderate, but sufficient acidity; no petrol notes, therefore this seems to be aging well.
But ultimately this may be lacking aromatic interest. 90+? (1372 views)
 Tasted by pifcho on 12/26/2012 & rated 96 points: Notes are from the 4th night - I opened it 24 hours in advance, but was very tight on the 2nd night. Really came together tonight. Baked pears, pepper and spices on the nose. Creamy and concentrated on the palate. Rich, but extremely precise. Quince, pears upfront with minerals and asparagus on the back end. Complex, engaging and extremely long (I can clearly taste it a couple of minutes after the last sip). Brilliant tonight and probably very special in 10+ years. (1687 views)
 Tasted by Biglama on 10/30/2011 & rated 90 points: wijn maakte het niet helemaal waar, had iets hogere verwachting, niet zo uitbundig en miste wat expressie, de 2de dag was de wijn iets verbeterd met wat meer inhoud en diepgang, wellicht een flesfout (1370 views)
 Tasted by Biglama on 10/20/2010 & rated 93 points: gele kleur, mooie minerale neus, heeft een klein beetje botrytus indruk, kleine indruk van sinasappel, fruitig, complex, rijp geel fruit, smaak is mooi rond en vol, diepgang, veel inhoud, mooie elegante afdronk, klasse wijn, kan nog een poosje mee (1300 views)
