Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 1999: A pale, crystal-clear wine, with a gentle tinge of green-gold. There's a smoke and slate character to the aromas on the nose, with some stewed lime fruit. The palate really packs a punch, with upfront, fresh, zingy acidity leading the way on entry. This supports a layer of rich, limey fruit, with a touch of honeycomb. A rounded texture to the wine, and a pleasing weight complete the experience. There's a good length, during which that tingling acidity just dances on the tongue. A brilliant Kabinett, which I have rated unusually highly for such a wine. Wilhelm Haag is clearly one of the Mosel's masters. 18/20 AP Nr: 2 577 050 5 00 (18/2/02)
