Fritz Haag, Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spatlese Fuder 7NA

From an unusual blend of 50% Grenache

it was designated as Montiotes Hautes)

The tannins are a little constrictive on the attack

Deep purple-black in color

nutty and maturing

Moderate reduction masks the nuance of the fruit though there is both good tension and freshness to the beautifully detailed and lightly stony medium-bodied flavors that possess a seductive

soft and juicy

A markedly floral nose is comprised by additional notes of white orchard fruit

A lightly spicy but notably earthy nose of a ripe and very fresh array of mixed red berries gives way to rich and utterly delicious flavors that possess excellent volume before terminating in a seductively textured finish that is shaped by dense but fine tannins

but with nice cut and persistence

The 2005 Châteauneuf du Pape les Safres is still inky colored

There is excellent precision to the super-sleek and precise middle weight flavors that terminate in a balanced finale that is less rustic than usual and with only a touch of rusticity
