2022: James Suckling: 95/100 "A very elegant riesling Spatlese in spite of the ample juicy stone fruit and jasmine character, then comes considerable power on the mid-weight palate. Very long, compact finish that’s extremely bright and crystal clear."
2021: James Suckling: 96/100 "A great riesling Spätlese with an extremely wide spectrum of aromas from red apple to mandarin orange with a touch of exotic fruit and flowers. Super-racy acidity that gives this a diamond brightness that makes you glad to be alive. Very clean and precise finish."
2019: James Suckling: 98/100 "Dense apricot aromas, but none of the honey that normally accompanies this type of ripeness in this style. Serious concentration and spot-on balance. Stunning freshness at the precise, sharp finish that shoots off into the heavens. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." | Eichelmann: "The Riesling Spätlese from the Mandelgarten shows a lot of yellow stone fruit, apricot, peach, has a fine sweetness, is harmonious and fresh." | Ronn Wiegand: 5/5 "This is an exceptional Riesling. The Mandelgarten Spätlese is concentrated and ripe in style; a medium bodied, nicely balanced, and complex Riesling (peach, lemon, pineapple, honey, lime), with a very long, full finish. Great value; warrants aging."
2018: essen&trinken 7/2021: "One for all! It is quite rare that a single wine can accompany a complete menu - a feat that the Riesling Spätlese from Müller-Catoir achieves with fascinating ease. Its perfectly balanced interplay of sweetness and acidity goes well with both the honey and olive oil cream and the sweet and savory combination in desserts. Thanks to the dense fruit of peach and lemon peel, it also cuts a fine figure with an intense shiitake bouillon."
