Det skrev de om 2016: 93 point i Mosel Fine Wines " This delivers a gorgeous nose of strawberry, a hint of fruit salad, pear and some slate. The wine is beautifully elegant and superbly multi-layered on the palate and leaves a great creamy feel in the superbly balanced finish. Think of this as a great elegant Auslese with irresistible early appeal but which will only deliver its full potential at maturity." 93+ i Robert Parkers Wine Advocate "Clear, precise and elegant on the nose, showing perfectly ripe and lush Riesling fruit with an exotic touch and a very delicate slate tone in the background. On the palate, this is a remarkably fine and elegant Spätlese with lovely purity and mineral expression. The acidity is very fine, and the persistent finish is piquant and salty. The Kranklei is somewhere between the spiciness and purity of the Würzgarten and the exotic generosity of the Prälat. But whatever it is, it's a beautiful Spätlese. Tasted February 2018." 91 point i Din Vinguide "Syrlig i duften. Flot intensitet og koncentration med pærer, abrikos og sødmefulde blomster i smagen. Pæn syre og lang afslutning." 5 stjerner på Flaskehalsen.nu Morten Wamsler: "Vil du finde dig en hvidvin, der ikke behøver alt muligt kulinarisk ved sin side, så har du et lille næsten-mesterværk her, hvor tankerne ledes hen på modne pærer og fyldige, lyse sommerfrugter."
