  Riesling Auslese Fuder 6 1997

Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Fuder 6 1997: A fairly pale but classic greenish hue. It has a lovely nose, packed with fresh, exuberant lemon and lime fruit. There's also a great mealy, oaty, perhaps minerally background character, although this only reveals itself with plenty of vigorous swirling or aeration. The palate has just superb weight, elegantly balanced with some tingling acidity, and is packed with concentrated, dense mealy fruit flavours. The wine even has a sense of power, and this doesn't fade through the finish. There's also quite a length. Fantastic drinking now, but also decades of potential. A superb wine. 18/20 AP Nr 2 577 050 6 98 (5/2/02)
