95 points David Schildknecht (Vinous): "[$52 list] A headily aromatic amalgam of musk melon, mango and white peach sets the stage for a luscious palate performance featuring primary, fresh-fruit juiciness without end. Creamy and glycerol-rich even as it conveys such striking freshness, this finishes with bittersweet toasted pecan accents serving for counterpoint, and lime and grapefruit introducing an unexpectedly bright, downright refreshing aura. The delicacy, lift and sheer persistence are all remarkable. Drink: 2017-2055. (Jun 2017)"
94 points and 'Top 100 Wines of 2017 (#77),' Wine Enthusiast: "[$52 list] Rich, sticky swirls of caramel and honey fill the palate of this lip-smacking sweet Riesling. It's slight in body and electric with acidity, yet its heaving, sun-kissed tropical fruit flavors persist boldly on the finish. Stunning already, it's sure to improve through 2030. Alcohol 7.5%. (Jun 2017)"
94 points James Suckling: "Very fine, floral honey nose. A super-elegant Auslese with a mineral and minty freshness that beautifully matches the concentration and sweetness. Very long finish of serious sophistication. Drink any time until 2040. (6/7/17)"
93 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "[$52 list] The 2015 Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule is clear, ripe and intense on the nose, yet still reductive, with fine lemon aromas. Round, lush and delicate on the palate, this is a generous Auslese with a long, intense and stimulating piquant finish. Good finesse and elegance here. Drink: 2025-2045. (Apr 2017)"
93 points Wine & Spirits: "[$52 list] Olivier Haag makes this wine from the steepest part of the Brauneberger Juffer vineyard, where a sundial is testament to the ample light the parcel receives. This 2015 channels that sense of sunlight in its lift and brightness, with acidity coursing through the mango and peach-toned fruit and loosing floral scents along the way. Underneath, there’s a rich earthiness that girds the wine, and suggests this will play just as well with a meaty pâté as it would a slice of nut tart. (Dec 2016)"
