The 2019 Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Auslese is coolish, precise and fresh on the stony and herbal nose with reductive and iodine notes. Lush and round on the palate, this is a highly refined and absolutely delicious Auslese with fine raisin aromas. It is weightless yet intense and so sensual, all balanced by highly delicate and mineral acidity. Very stimulating. A fantastic Auslese, most likely the best I have tasted from this vineyard. Tasted in May 2020. - SR

There's a softness to this auslese, perhaps due to its lush texture, yet also a vibrant structure that defines the peach, mango and floral aromas and flavors. A savory, bouillon note adds detail on the lingering aftertaste. Best from 2024 through 2042. — B.S.
