Tasting notes
The 2016 Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese has a very fine and flinty bouquet with delicate raisin aromas. Lush and delicate on the palate, this is a fine and filigreed Spätlese with an intense but still delicate and salty finish. Well balanced but rather sweet. Give it 10 to 15 years to develop its true class.

A bit of cheesy, reductive “Mosel stink” shrouds the nose but parts to reveal scents of apple, pineapple and mango that anticipate the luscious, tangy impression on a polished, subtly creamy palate. This finishes with soothing, forwardly fruity length.
Very different from the Fritz Haag rendition. Cedary citrus aroma. Sweet and honeyed on the palate. An absolute baby and with new-born purity. Perfectly balanced but needs time to reveal its personality. VGV (JH)
