97 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 12 19. The 2018er Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese GK #12 was made from partially botrytized grapes harvested at a full 130° Oechsle, i.e. technically at BA levels, and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a stunning nose of star fruit, gooseberry, herbs, almond cream, and smoke. The wine proves superbly unctuous on the creamy yet delicately racy palate and leaves a stunning feel of cream, orchard fruits, apricot blossom and fruit zest in the long and multi-layered finish. Despite the intensity and presence, this stunning Auslese oozes finesse and elegance. What a stunning success! 2033-2088. (Aug 2019)"

97 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Impeccable focus and crystal-clear purity, but deeply set and endearing stone fruit here, ranging from dried peaches to apricots; then comes a tropical thunderstorm of pure rainwater. Sweet and dense with deeply cast spices and structure, but the clear-cut acidity is never far away and this finishes long and super balanced. Drink now or hold. (12/16/19)"
