94+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2020 Juffer-Sonnenuhr Spätlese from Oliver Haag is a touch lower in octane than the Juffer bottling, coming in at 7.5 percent this year, coupled again with acids of 8.3 grams and residual sugars of eighty-three grams per liter. The wine is even a touch more refined on the nose, offering up scents of apple, pear, fresh lime, bee pollen, complex, salty slate undertow, white lilies, iris blossoms and violets. On the palate the wine is even more delicately strung than the Juffer Spätlese, with its medium-full format transparent, filigreed and complex. The acids are bright, zesty and give great backend lift and grip on the very long and complex finish. Sheer beauty. 2022-2070. (Jan/Feb 2022)"
94 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Very youthful and expressive, with so much mandarin, white peach, nectarine and honeysuckle, this is a beautiful Spätlese, in which the succulent sweetness is beautifully balanced by the lively, lemony acidity. And beneath all this is a mineral core. Drink or hold. (8/4/21)"
94 points Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2020er Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese, as it is referred to on the consumer label, offers a magnificent refreshing and complex nose of smoke, anise, white flowers, peach, and herbs. The wine develops great fruity and ripe presence on the palate driven by apricot, ripe peach, and even some exotic fruits, all wrapped into honeyed elements. The finish is delicately smooth and sweet. 2030-2060. (Sep 2021)"
