2023: James Suckling: 96/100 "This is incredibly cool and delicate in spite of its ample power and concentration. I love the nose of white flowers after a summer storm with European and Asian pear aromas. Then comes a wonderful yellow grapefruit zestiness that both lifts and drives the very long, compact finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
2022: James Suckling: 96/100 (Best Riesling in its class 2023) "Stunning power and depth with huge apricot, peach and mango fruit. Full-bodied with fabulous concentration and balance. Builds to a giant crescendo at the finish yet it remains so precise right the way through." | Terry Theise: ++ "Truely an unsung hero of Pfalz Rieslings."
2021: James Suckling: 94/100 "Wonderful nose of ripe mirabelle with a lemon zest freshness. Super-bright and focused, the tension between almost exotic ripeness and cool minerality very pronounced. Some may find the racy acidity a bit challenging, but we find that really exciting. Very long, finely chiselled finish."
2020: Karen Mac Neil's "The Wine Bible" (2nd edition): "A great wine!" (Described in detail together with relevant information and comments) | wein.plus: "Clear, fine, vegetal, relatively calm fragrance with light yellow-fruity aromas, cool herbal nuances and mineral notes. Clear, firm, fairly juicy, light fruit, very fine acidity and delicate handle, yeasty notes, slightly floral and herbal Vegetable, prominent mineral notes, persistent, certain depth, nutty traces, still almost compact structure, very good, firm, tart and juicy finish with emphasis." excellent (91 WP) top position | James Suckling: 96/100 "Very cool and fresh with notes of fresh pineapple, melon, red-fleshed vineyard peach and mint, this Pfalz dry riesling masterpiece has restrained power, but unrestrained concentration. The medium-to full-bodied palate is so precisely etched and the finish is so focused, the minerality of dramatic intensity. Drink or hold."
2019: James Suckling: 95/100 "What a subtle, spicy nose with just a hint of smoke! So cool, focused and delicate. The mirabelle fruit slowly emerges with aeration in the glass, opening up a wide new vista. Patience will be rewarded by even greater elegance than the wine offers now. Drink or hold. From organically grown grapes." | Ronn Wiegand: 5/5 "A terrific dry Riesling. The Herrenletten is full bodied, intensely flavored (linden blossom, mint, honeysuckle, pineapple, peach), and crisp, with a long palate evolution, and a very long finish. Outstanding quality and value. Warrants 2+ more years of aging."
2018: James Suckling: 95/100 Points "Fresh but fully ripe mangoes, apricot pie, Danish pasties, and then a touch of some subtle spices, such as cinnamon and turmeric. Very layered and full-bodied, but transparent and agile, with a serious impression of minerality on the long finish. Hints of salinity. Drink now or hold." | Robert Parker: 92+/100 Points "The 2018 Riesling Herrenletten is clear, deep, pure and fresh on the stony/herbal, rather coolish but intense and even flinty nose of wet stone. Lush and piquant on the palate, this is an elegant and refined, salty Riesling with elegant power, stimulating salinity and good grip."
