Note di degustazione
Earlier this year I was reminded of the joys I’m missing out on courtesy of a couple of wonderful Rieslings. One of them appeared at Hatched restaurant in Clapham, London, which I sincerely hope will reopen after lockdown. The 2001 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese #9 from Fritz Haag is a brilliant wine that is only just beginning to show what it is capable of. Limpid in hue, it has a nose that leaps out of the glass with scents of freshly sliced pear, kiwi fruit, struck flint and just a subtle tinned apricot aroma that remains politely in the background. The palate is brimming with tension that neatly counterbalances the power behind this Auslese. In fact, the razor-sharp acidity is such that blind, I would guess this to be more Spätlese. It is a nimble Auslese that dances on tiptoes, the finish clearly holding plenty of coiled-up energy that ensures it will give another 15–20 years of drinking pleasure. This is Riesling/Fritz Haag in full flight.

A floral, faintly rose-petal nose, over stony citrus and ripe green fig. On the palate, rich apricot and orange intensity with an energy that cuts through the sweetness. Mouthwatering finish. (JH) 17.5/20 points

Candied stones and liquid minerals are intermingled with honeysuckle blossoms in the aromatics of the 2001 Riesling Auslese Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr. This stunner is elegant beyond words, powerful, crystalline, and has a mind-boggling finish. Its light to medium-bodied, satin-textured personality is boldly flavored yet airy. Quartz, assorted minerals, verbena, and hints of candied limes are found in this complete offering's complex character. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020+.
