2024: James Suckling: 96/100 "What a beautiful Spatlese. This has the combination of ripeness, freshness and delicacy that this category is all about. Barely off-dry on the barely medium-bodied palate. Fantastic peachy fruit and no less fantastic clarity at the super-grapey finish."
2023: James Suckling: 97/100 "Brimming with delicate orange blossom, mandarin orange and nectarine aromas, this is a fabulously fresh and precise riesling Spatlese that barely tastes sweet. Instead it is enormously refreshing and precise on the barely medium-bodied palate. Simultaneously delightful and deep right through the extremely long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
2022: James Suckling: 97/100 (Best Riesling Spätlese 2023) "A super-elegant riesling Spatlese with extremely fine peachy fruit that wraps its tendrils around you and won’t let go. So deep and precise with a pronounced salty minerality that drives the extremely long and focused finish, dazzling the senses and the mind. Built for the long haul!"
2018: James Suckling: 94/100 Points "Crushed dill and coriander meet with bright citrus, loquats and pears. Only off-dry and very balanced with a well-judged component of acidity doing wonders for the mineral, expressive finish. Dialed-in and beautiful to drink now, but better to cellar for a decade. Drink now." | RESTAURANT WINE® Issues #190-193: 4+/5 stars "An exceptional Spätlese, this 2018 Burgergarten is round, light medium bodied, and fairly rich; a wine with refined character (pear, white peach, pineapple, lime, honeydew melon), good balance, and a very long, lingering finish. Delicious; warrants further aging. Aged in stainless steel. Organic."
