2000 Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Auslese

This is A.P. #6, but you won't have to look for that little number because it is the only non-gold capsule Auslese here of the vintage. Baked apple, toasted hazelnut and cream aromas strike the theme for this entire wine. In the mouth, it is creamy, rich and subtly marked by pure, unblemished fruits, nuts and flowers. Rich but not quite fat, its sweetness is clearly buffered by enormous extract, yet the wine seems almost weightless in the mouth. The long finish brings together baked apple, lemon cream, toasted nuts and a puff pastry combination of butter, cream and yeast. 2 stars.
