A breathtakingly filigree 2019 Mosel masterpiece with spot-on balance of concentration and mouthwatering acidity. Fresh enough to wake the dead at the pure, long finish. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese is highly refined on the nose and shows delicately aromatic fruit with a nose-tickling minerality of crushed stones and herbs. Round and juicy as well as highly finessed and salty on the palate, this is a fantastic sweet Riesling. It is so fine and filigreed, so delicate and salty that you don't taste any sweetness here—just a dream of the finest Mosel Riesling. This is dangerously good, piquant and tensioned, and you will drink a bottle far too quickly. An outrageous Auslese! Tasted as a sample in April 2020.
AP number 06 20. TA 8.1 g/l, RS 107 g/l. Cool, restrained, almost off-putting it's so confident, on the nose. Juicy and a real mouthful of fruit that's so complex the world bouquet is surely correct. Tight and youthful. Positively exhibitionistic! (JR)
