Wine Advocate, 100 Points 

"The 2020 Vogelsang Grosse Lage is pure, deep and intense on the spectacularly fine, mineral and absolutely unique nose that reveals concentrated but elegant and spicy-mineral fruit with a coolish and herbal terroir expression. A show-stopping nose! On the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied, dense, rich and intense but also refined and vibrantly fresh Saar Riesling with a tight structure and a spectacularly long, refined and saline finish that reveals a serious tannin structure. The wine reveals great astringency on the finish that indicates tremendous aging potential, the more so since the balance and classicism of this Serrig Riesling is based on about 12 grams of residual sugar. This is a wine made for decades and a new benchmark for dry-tasting Saar Rieslings. Even though they have been produced since 2017, the 2020 Rieslings from the steep Vogelsang site in Serrig (Saar) are the first that Markus Molitor has brought to market under the name "Ehemalige Domäne Serrig."" 

James Suckling, 97 Points 

"Super-cool and youthful for the hot and dry 2020 vintage, with a wide spectrum of aromas from damp moss to pink grapefruit plus notes of fresh thyme and white flowers. Staggering vibrancy on the medium-bodied palate that’s very focused, the concentration of wet stone minerality and lime character climbing precipitously at the very long, tensile finish. Drink or hold." 

Vinous, 96 Points 

"The 2020 Riesling Serriger Vogelsang Grosse Lage opens with immediate green apple and Mirabelle perfume, laced with gentle citrus and a youthful, fresh overtone of hayflowers. The body is exquisitely light mad slender, still prickling with the slightest residual carbon dioxide, displaying overtones of pineapple from the warm 2020 summer on its taut, mouth-watering and elegant body. Slaty verve and tension point to depth on this vertical, full-flavored yet exquisitely light wine with its lasting finish that echoes with salt, lemon zest and slate. Absolutely straight-laced and elegant. (Bone-dry)"
