96 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "A super-filigree Mosel Auslese that impresses with fabulous delicacy and precision. So much vanilla-bean character, but also tropical-flower aromas. Beautifully integrated grape sweetness at the long, very refined finish. Drink or hold. (8/4/21)"
95 points Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2020er Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese, as it is referred to on the consumer label, was made from clean fruit and was fermented down to fully sweet levels of residual sugar. It immediately captures one’s attention with its superbly fresh and animating nose of lemon, fresh pineapple, herbs, grapefruit, spices, floral elements, cassis, greengage, and vineyard peach. The wine reveals some creamy pear, yellow peach, and nuances of honeyed yellow fruits on the smooth and fruity palate but reveals a more filigreed, zesty, and hauntingly smooth but also smoky side in the finish. The aftertaste is magnificent persistent and full of energy. This outstanding and gorgeous Auslese needs at least a decade to integrate all its elements, but patience will be rewarded. 2030-2060. (Sep 2021)"
94+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2020 Juffer-Sonnenuhr Auslese from Weingut Haag is quite similar in numbers to the Juffer version, coming in at the same 7.5 percent octane and carrying ninety-five grams of sugar and 7.5 grams of acidity. The wine is equally refined on the nose, but a bit more youthfully reticent, offering up scents of lime, pear, tangerine, mint, iris blossoms, violets, bee pollen and plenty of citrus zest in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, medium-full and nascently complex, with a beautiful core, lovely mineral undertow, bright acids and laser-like focus on the long and seamlessly balanced finish. This too is a truly lovely bottle in the making. 2027-2100. (Jan/Feb 2022)"
