"Ripe white peach, Persian melon and papaya wreathed in bittersweet floral perfume mark the Haag 2011 Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Spatlese as a multi-dimensional marriage of northerly and tropical fruits with floral, herbal and mineral complexities. Silken in texture and mingled with piquant, smoky, rich nut oils as well as a liquid floral perfume, this delivers a combination of levity with lusciousness, opulence and wafting elegance, and textural richness with tingling enervation, that are hard to beat; and an alliance with wet stone and saliva-drawing salinity serves to enhance a sense of depth, dynamic, and mouthwatering enticement to take the next sip. Look for at least two decades of delight."
