The Willi Haag 2006 Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett feinherb highlights pistachio, nectarine, and honey. Perfectly-balanced: rich and dry tasting yet not heavy, it gains clarity and primary juiciness vis a vis the other dry-tasting wines here today thanks at least in part to its somewhat lower (11.5%) alcohol. And here too, there is a vivid wet stone sense of slate running beneath the wine’s long finish. This will probably be best enjoyed over the next 4-5 years. Marcus Haag – whose wines often number among the best values in the Mosel – has followed up his unprecedented success in the 2005 vintage with a collection of 2006s again surpassing any of his career.Importer: Billington Imports, Springfield, VA; tel.
