Fritz Haag, Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese other_regions_italy This is a dazzling effort

This is a dazzling effort

the supporting tannins are somewhat drying and this tends to cut the finish short

It is just a case of waiting for the nose to open because the palate really shows the potential here

This really brims with minerality on the mouth coating finish that delivers super length

The 2007 Chateau Nairac is a little pinched on the nose

Fritz Haag, Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese other_regions_italy This is a dazzling effortLively bouquet of white peach, apple blossom and mint. Soft and gentle, with sweet apricot fruit nicely balanced by ripe but understated acidity. Elegant and persistent, this Sptlese remains light and refreshing. Joel B. Payne
