  April 8, 2024 - Apricot jam, lime brulee and honey. The palate has some spritz and is tangy and fresh. There’s slatey minerality and good acid cut to counter the wines sweetness. Excellent balance and in a very nice spot.

  January 9, 2022 - Tasted blind. Late in the evening after many bottles came a wonderful flight of sweet wines. The Haag 1997 vs the Pruem 1995, both from their signature vineyards Wehlener/Brauneberger Sonnenuhr were great Rieslings. We got the year completely wrong and thought they were much younger. The Haag was mineralic, with dried fruit but also green apples, ethereal and fresh, as always almost a Spaetlese style. The Pruem a bit richer with more orchard fruit but also lively and fresh.

  December 23, 2021 - Mostly Champagne & Burgs (VVF, Krug, DP, Rousseau, Fourrier,…): Three sweet wines tasted double blind to finish this memorable tasting. Two of them were German Auslese with 25 years of age and both showed beautifully. Winner was the Haag Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr 1997 (94 pts) with its intoxicating and complex nose. This was not a Goldkapsel and hence not that sweet. Auslesen like this with age I prefer as an aperitif and not as a sweet wine. Still this was great and beat the Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Goldkapsel 1995 (91 pts) which showed richer and more fruit-driven but not 100% clean with some cellar/wet cardboard notes on the nose. Lastly, we had a Sauternes which the group liked a lot more than I did. The Chateau Gilette 1947 (86 pts) still showed some nice aromas on the palate but the nose was off (wet carboard smells) and the wine got quite acidity towards the finish.
  
  TN: The nose is not clean. Underneath some wet cardboard smells, some musty notes there are - like on the palate - nice botrytis notes, saffron, quince, peach, apple and pear. Additionally on the palate a wonderful minerality layer which together with the acidity keeps it quite light, fresh and makes you wanna drink more. The balance is impeccable. Could be more if it wouldn’t be for the not so clean profile.
  
  Decanting: Not decanted, maybe a bit of air would have helped here. But that will be different from bottle to bottle

  December 21, 2021 - Tasted blind as part of a Champagne and Burgundy tasting (plus pirates). This was initially dominated by chemical base notes, but later showed nice gooseberry, added spice, apple and forest honey. Acidity was still nice and the texture creamy.
