2022: James Suckling: 93/100 "For a riesling from the Pfalz this has an almost Mosel-like floral personality. Notes of fresh mint and parsley fill out the bouquet. Then comes a big wave of melon fruit that is of eye-popping intensity. Breathtaking freshness at the vibrant finish."
2021: James Suckling: 93/100 "A very elegant and racy wine for the warm Pfalz with a wonderful range of aromas from yellow peach and melon through to red apple and Amalfi lemon. Ample fruit in spite of the relatively sleek body. Long, very vibrant and crisp finish."
2020: James Suckling: 94/100 "Still a bit closed, but beautifully proportioned. With aeration, this medium-bodied dry Pfalz riesling develops so many delicate spicy and floral notes. Compact structure and a long, tight finish suggest this has quite some aging potential. Drink or hold."
2019: James Suckling: 95/100 "Still very youthful and a little closed, this is so deep and cool, almost dark, in spite of the fresh-pineapple and fresh-herb notes. Stunning concentration and finesse for a village wine. Very long finish that is simultaneously silky and mineral. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." | Robert Parker: 90/100 "The 2019 Haardt Riesling is very clear, pure and precise on the bright, intense and dusty/stony nose. Round and racy-piquant on the palate, with intense and aromatic yet delicate fruit and a remarkable weightlessness and finesse, this is a !ne, elegant, well-balanced dry Riesling with quite a lot of charm. Tasted as a sample in April and June 2020." | vinum wine competition "Best of Germany": "BEST BUY between 15 and 20 francs": "Playful, floral nose. Dark green, spicy, piquant on the palate. Good structure, with balanced aromas. Shows strain and tension." Drinking recommendation: 2021 to 2031 | Ronn Wiegand: 5/5 "This is an outstanding 2019 Riesling. The Haardt Riesling is fragrant and aromatic; a stylish, crisp, well balanced wine with excellent flavor (pear, peach, yellow plum, honeysuckle, apple), and a very long finish. Exceptional quality and value. Warrants modest aging."
2018: James Suckling: 93/100 Points "Dried honeysuckle, loquat, mirabelle plums and dried lemons make for a concentrated and gripping nose. Warm and very structured on the full-bodied palate with some serious density and phenolics. Drink now." | Robert Parker: 89/100 Points "The 2018 Haardt Riesling opens with an attractive intense and flinty bouquet of ripe white/pink peaches and orange peels. Concentrated and with stewed fruit flavors on the palate, this is a very fresh, pure and salty Riesling with stimulating mineral grip on the finish." | RESTAURANT WINE® Issues #190-193: 5/5 stars "Delicious dry Haart Riesling: round, crisp, and medium full bodied, it has elegant character (yellow plum, peach, pear, passionfruit), fine balance, and a medium long finish. Great value; can be aged further. Unwooded. Organic. [2021-2024]"
2017: James Suckling: 94/100 | restaurantwine (Ronn Wiegand): 5/5 stars - "An exceptional dry Riesling: fragrant, medium full bodied, crisp, and finely flavored (peach, elderflower, passion fruit, apple), with excellent balance, and a vibrant finish. Great value; can be aged a bit."
