Haag/Fritz Riesling TBA Brauneberger Juffer 2018 375ml

95 points Wine Spectator: “[$465/375ml list] This shows purity and finesse, with the obvious pedigree of a noble sweet wine. Elegant, yet with an almost creamy texture, this is packed with flambéed pear, quince jam, lavender honey and dried mango flavors, all linked by powerful, invigorating acidity, supported by slate minerality. Very complex and ethereal on the finish. Best from 2024 through 2050. 10 cases made. (4/30/20)”

95 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “The 2018 Juffer TBA is just a bit higher in residual sugar than the Beerenauslese this year, as Oliver estimates that it is around one hundred and eighty grams per liter. This too is a gorgeous wine in the making, offering up refined bouquet of mirabelle, honey, white cherries, candied violets, citrus zest and a nice touch of saltiness from the slate. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, creamy and very long and complex, with excellent focus and grip, sound acids and a very long, pure and zesty finish. Utterly captivating and borderline criminal to spit. 2019-2100. (Mar/Apr 2019)”
