2001 Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett

“The stunning, 2001 Riesling Kabinett Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr has the depth and concentration generally associated with Ausleses. Creamy white flowers can be found in its lively aromas. Light to medium-bodied, lush, and softly-textured, this is a broad wine filled with tangy lime-soaked minerals. Rich, focused, and exquisitely balanced, this is a stupendous Kabinett!

“Pure and well-defined flavors of apple and slate mark this bracing, tangy '01 Riesling. It has density on a delicate frame and mouthwatering finish, with a subtle, lingering aftertase. (BS)” (03/2003)

“Very, very full and sweet with massive impact on the front of the palate. An extraordinary wine. (JR) 17.5/20 points” (09/2002)

“The wine exudes apple blossom aromas. In the mouth, too, the theme is floral, with an elegant, deft balance of sweetness and acidity and a buoyant expression of fruit and slate. The finish is gloriously juicy and refreshing - the acids insistently supportive without really being bracing - yet at the same time almost as vividly slatey as a Mosel riesling can get. (DS)” (11/2002)
