Score 91/100 · Drink 2020-2030, David Schildknecht, Vinous, Apr 2020
A site-typical nose of dark cherry and apple laced with mint presages a polished, delicate yet richly flavored palate at once succulently fruity and coolingly herb-infused. The effect is delightfully sorbet-like, leading to a buoyant finish of consummate refreshment. Loosen has been slowly dialing back the level of residual sugar in his Kabinetts, and here sweetness is deftly integrated and entirely supportive.

Score 86/100 · Drink 2020-2033, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Jun 2019
The 2017 Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Kabinett displays bright, ripe fruit but lacks a bit of precision. Lush, sweet and racy on the palate, this Kabinett already drinks well. Tasted in March 2019.
