SCHARZHOFBERGER RIESLING KABINETT 2013
TASTING NOTE
Wine Spectator, “An elegant style, featuring green peach, apple and pear flavors that are minerally and fresh-tasting. The savory finish has notes of citrus peel and juniper berry that are complex and lingering. Drink now through 2020.”

SCHARZHOFBERGER RIESLING SPÄT 2015
TASTING NOTE
Robert Parker, “The 2015 Scharzhofberger Riesling Spätlese opens with a clear, intense and very elegant bouquet that intertwines flint/slate-like aromas with perfectly ripe and piquant Scharzhofberg flavors. Terribly pure, piquant and fresh, this Spätlese is also lush and stimulating on the palate. This is a picture-book Spätlese with tropical fruit flavors and a great mineral tension. The finish is mouth-wateringly pure and piquant, fine and salty. A great, great Saar Spätlese from the famous Scharzhofberg!”

SCHARZHOFBERGER RIESLING AUSLESE 2015
TASTING NOTE
Robert Parker, “The 2015 Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese (AP #9) is beautifully clear, intense and piquant on the complex and elegant nose, which displays a great mix of tropical fruit, honey and Scharzhofberg slate with fine botrytis flavors. Round, lush and salty, this is a gorgeously rich, yet pure and piquant Auslese. It has great complexity and elegance. The finish is precise and salty, with great intensity and piquancy.”

SCHARZHOFBERGER RIESLING AUSLESE 2014
TASTING NOTE
Robert Parker, “The 2014 Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese #8 is intense and clear on the nose and displays fine botrytis flavors along with aromatic herbal aromas of curry plant. Full of finesse and piquancy on the palate, with beautifully clear mirabelle plum and nectarine flavors, this is a highly elegant and finesse-full beauty with a lush mid-palate and a very fine and elegant, nicely salty and mouthwatering finish. There is so much intensity here, but it’s also drinkable and complexity! There was another Auslese GK #9 that was auctioned in Trier for 770 Euros.”

SCHARZHOFBERGER RIESLING AUSLESE 2011
TASTING NOTE
Robert Parker, “Muller’s 2011 Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese delivers a penetrating and multifarious nose of heliotrope, lily, candied lime rind, quince preserves, white peach preserves, distilled herbal essences, marzipan and brown spices. Almost weightlessly delicate yet simultaneously expansive and creamy, this both caresses and stimulates the palate with a kaleidoscopically interactive array of those diverse and exotic elements that on the nose signaled its ripeness and botrytis ennoblement. An almost syrupy sense of white peach – along with hints of white raisin that emerge in that prodigious finish – fails to tip the scales in too-confectionary a direction thanks to a vibratory sense of energy and refreshing rivulet of juicy fresh peach and lime that is threaded throughout. ”

SCHARZHOFBERGER RIESLING SPÄT 2010
TASTING NOTE
Robert Parker, “Effusively scented with peony and heliotrope; quince, white peach, and Persian melon; as well as ethereal herbal distillates, the Muller 2010 Scharzhofberger Riesling Spatlese – sole wine so-labeled in this year’s collection, surprisingly – delivers persistent inner-mouth perfume allied to an uncanny sense of lift and buoyancy as well as transparency of its silken, decadently musky and floral nectar to salt and stone. It’s hard to imagine a much greater contrast – within the parameters of this estate – than that between the present extraordinary as well as extraordinarily rarified wine and its severe, almost strident Braune Kupp counterpart. “If you looked at the analysis of this,” says Muller (but without offering it for inspection), “you simply wouldn’t believe that you could be tasting what you’re tasting.” Look for this to remain glorious for at least three decades.”
