Aromatically, the 2003 Riesling Auslese Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr is held in check by sulfur. On the palate, however, it reveals a well-focused core of white pepper-laced pears, hints of citrus fruits, and a distinctive note of red cherries that comes to the fore in its extended finish. An outstanding effort, it should be drunk between 2007 and 2017. Importer: David Shiverick, Langdon-Shiverick, Cleveland, OH; tel. (216) 861-6800

A distinctive white, whose pastry and apple notes give much pleasure immediately, falling off a little on the finish. Still, it's delicate and well-balanced. Drink now through 2015. 300 cases made.??–BS??Region: Germany / Mosel-Saar-Ruwer Select to Add
