96 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Juffer Sonnenuhr GG is excitingly clear, fresh and precise on the nose. Lush and round on the palate, this is an intense and tensioned, finely grippy, long and salty JSU whose energy, precision and freshness is outstanding. Tasted in Wiesbaden in August 2021. Drink: 2027-2045. (Sep 2021)"
96 points James Suckling: "In spite of the very solid base of tannins and minerals, plus serious concentration, this remains so graceful and light-footed. Still very young and slightly yeasty from sur-lie aging. However, there are already so many delicate floral and herbal nuances, plus a hint of vanilla bean. Drinkable now, but best from 2022. (9/23/21)"
94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The Weingut Fritz Haag 2020 Juffer-Sonnenuhr Grosses Gewächs has very similar numbers to the Juffer GG, coming in at 12.5 percent alcohol, with 7.3 grams of acidity and 2.6 grams of sugar. The wine shows of the inherent elegance of the vintage to great success, with the nose wafting from the glass in a refined mix of tart orange, fresh lime, smoke, a gorgeous base of grey slate, a beautiful array of the vineyard’s botanicals that hint at cress, fern and mint, and just a suggestion of citrus blossoms in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full, focused and tightly-knit out of the blocks, with a rock solid core, great slate undertow, zesty acids and laser-like focus on the long, nascently complex and seamlessly balanced finish. This will take longer than the Juffer GG this year to blossom, but it is going to be a beautiful wine once it is ready to drink. 2032-2085+. (Jan/Feb 2022)"
93 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 08 21. The 2020er Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Trocken GG, as it is referred to on the consumer label, offers a complex and multi-layered nose of cassis, greengage, candied grapefruit, orange blossom, and vineyard peach. The wine proves beautifully creamy but also superbly spicy and minty on the palate and leaves a nice sense of lightness and energy in the focused finish. The aftertaste is all about fine spices and smoke. This very subtle and filigreed expression of dry Riesling is a huge success. 2024-2040. (Sep 2021)"
