97 points Joel B. Payne (Vinous): "The nose is so penetratingly floral – suggesting iris, narcissus and honeysuckle – as to nearly knock one’s head back. But at the same time, it exhibits a remarkably fresh, zesty expression of lime and pineapple as well as more predictable intimations of quince and apricot preserves. The palate impression is no less striking, combining as it does a creamy texture with utmost levity while pitting confectionary nut paste and nut brittle of almond and hazelnut against fresh citrus, with a productively tense rather than in any way awkward upshot. A reprise of apricot jam is balanced against the piquancy of the fruit’s pits on a prodigious finish that perpetuates all of the richness as well as the blazing brightness and floral perfume that came before. There were around 180 liters of this beauty. Drink: 2020-2065. (Apr 2020)"
96+ points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 25 18. The 2017er Brauneberger Juffer Beerenauslese harvested at approx. 145° Oechsle is, in fact, the first ever Juffer BA produced by the Estate. This wine immediately captures one’s attention through magnificent scents of candied exotic fruits including pineapple, guava and mango as well as pear puree, quince and anise. The wine develops a deep and breathtaking concentration on the fruit-driven palate. Some grapefruit and lime-driven acidity then comes through and gives a sense of definition to the hugely intense and even powerful finish. This remarkable effort could be a modern-day legend in the making as it refines with aging. 2027-2047+. (Oct 2018)"
