99+ points Joel B. Payne (Vinous): "Deep golden-yellow color. Flamboyantly expressive nose offers candied peach, acacia honey and lemon oils on a rich bed of brown spice botrytis. Baked pineapple and glazed honey flavors are kept vibrant by a low-keyed minerality. Hints of caramel and sweet herbs add complexity to the endless finish. Superbly balanced wine with the potential to age for a half-century, this is the wine of the vintage! (Jan 2008)"
99 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "The Fritz Haag 2006 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Trockenbeerenauslese – in contrast with the B.A. – is a monument to the vintage, but not monumental in style. Here we witness the ethereal aromatic intensity and remarkable levity and delicacy of which 2006 is capable. Notes of freshly-baked bread, truffle, honey, and orchard fruit liqueurs call to mind a 1971, but a seductive profusion of floral perfume is all 2006. Almost painful intensity of fruit preserve, nut paste, and honey sweetness is pulled back from excess by otherwise undetectable strings of acidity, leading to a billowing, seemingly weightless yet endlessly stimulating finish that is guaranteed to leave you shaking your head in wonder. If one factors in the sheer length of this wine, it is a bargain: one sip lasts for several minutes and one half -bottle would last for months unspoiled in a refrigerator, and for longer than an average lifetime in the cellar. (Oct 2008)"
