Scents of peach and musk melon in the most of the Willi Haag 2009 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese presage a generously juicy, conspicuously sweet, polished, palate performance that culminates in a soothing, subtly stone-lined finish. I suspect this relatively soft Spatlese will be best enjoyed over the next decade. According to Inge Haag, the impact of sporadic October rain was greater in Brauneberg than in most other Mosel villages, and losses to perosopera and negative botrytis led to an unusually small crop (reflected inter alia in the relative absence of wines that require reference to their A.P.#s to disambiguate!) and a relatively early conclusion to the harvest in the final days of October. Must weights, notes Markus Haag, were in an unusually narrow band this year, the choice of which lots to declare as being of which Pradikat falling almost entirely on the basis of style. Fruit from the Burgerslay vineyard so often responsible for the most distinctively delicious wines at this address was in 2009 spread around rather than being dedicated to a single bottling.Numerous importers, including Atlanta Improvement Co.; tel.
