95 Points, Wine Enthusiast: "Red-slate cliffs of the Erdener Treppchen are known for intensely smoky, iron-edged wines and this piercing dry Riesling is a classic expression. Nectarine and peach flavors are concentrated but cutting, struck by a zesty spine of acidity and a spicy, earthen finish. Tasted in January 2021 it's a bit nervous still but should meld and improve through 2035 and hold further." (July 2021)
