The 2017 Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Beerenauslese is deep, clear, fresh and perfectly ripe on the concentrated, crunchy-flinty nose with its concentrated aromas of stewed peaches, pineapples and tropical fruit intertwined with very fine notes of crushed slate and fermented pepper. Dense, lush and highly finessed on the rich, concentrated yet still pure, mineral, vital and salty-piquant palate, this is one of the most light-footed, stimulating and mouthwatering BAs you can imagine. The sweetness comes on wings here, and the wings are made of slate—slate from the Juffer Sonnenuhr, one of the greatest terroirs along Mosel, Saar and Ruwer. This is an eternal BA from a great vintage, and I can hardly imagine a finer one from here. Drinking the 2017 Juffer Sonnenuhr BA should be a moment of glory. I had it in March and April 2019.
