Fritz Haag Juffer Riesling Auslese

"95pts - James Suckling
Resounding clarity of aromas and flavors here with bright lemons, yuzu, white pepper, cloves and orange zest. Immaculately mineral and fine on the medium-bodied palate with driving acidity and deeply cast, citrus and green-fruit flavors. The sweetness is almost an afterthought, but it’s certainly there. Stunning.

The 2018 Juffer Auslese has not botrytis in it, as it was made from beautiful golden and shriveled berries this year. The wine is a beauty in the making, offering up a very pure and refined bouquet of white cherries, pears, spring flowers, mint, bee pollen, a lovely base of slate minerality and a nice touch of Juffer mossiness in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, fullish and crystal clear, with a lovely core, impressive transparency, bright, zesty acid and outstanding focus and grip on the very, very long and refined finish."
