Although his spatleses are very good, auslese has always been Fritz Haag's strong suit. The 2005 vintage is no exception. In a year when many producers struggled at this level, Wilhelm Haag and his son Oliver, who now owns the estate, shone brightly. Not only that, even the dry wines that I have so often criticized were very good. If anything came up short, it was the kabinett. "There wasn't much there," said Oliver Haag-and what was there didn't have the energy of the better examples from the vintage.
