Riesling Spätlese Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr 2017

- 93 points -

The 2017er Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Spätlese was harvested at a full 96° Oechsle. It develops a quite opulent and aromatic nose of apricot, juicy peach, pineapple, guava, a hint of melon and honey. The wine coats the palate with intense and juicy creamy fruits. Some smooth yet juicy acidity adds to the intense Auslese presence of this wine. The finish is driven by beautifully pure and lingering flavors of quince, peach and pear. This Auslese in all but name is quite a treat but will only truly be at its best in a decade or so.
