Scharzhofberger Spätlese Riesling Auction

Such a baby. Tightly wound peach purée and petrol.

Ooh. Fresh and quietly dazzling. Lemon oil, and bright lifted peach fruit. Really subtle and delicious.

Delicate stone fruit with light floral notes. Gorgeous tension and mouthfeel. Long.

Poise and a delicate peachy nose. A hint of sweetness and a subtle, long midpalate. Nice balance. Egon says it’s a touch off… maybe corked. Shows what I know!

Tasted blind. Medium gold, heavy in the glass. Notes of apricot, lemon, sweet kiwi, stone, petrol and some honey. While this has a flamboyant nose, it's a bit thin and dry in the mouth. Sneaky acidity. Very floral.

Lush. Peaches and sizzling minerality. A very plush and open middle. Expansive ripe fruit and good acidity. In a great place but a long time ahead

Very pure. Light and precise but with a lovely enveloping sweet midpalate. Great balancing acidity and complexity. A really classy wine.

A showy nose that is a head fake to a palate that is perfectly balanced and reserved . I think this bottle needs to rest.

Easy to see the big time potential here, powerful but filigreed
