Critics Ratings

Egon Muller Scharzhof Riesling 2009
‘Lightly spritzy. Intensely and very naturally fruity on the nose – a real bouquet of nature. Early-summer hedgerow. Light and filigree though a little rustic and earthbound on the finish. Off-dry impression thanks to the high acidity. Still a little chewy and sulphur-influenced on the finish.'- Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20 (Jul 2010)

Egon Muller Scharzhofberger Riesling 2007 ‘
Quince and yellow plum preserves, honey and brown spices inform the nose of the auctioned 2007 Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese A.P. #12. Notes of truffle and Tokaji-like smokiness emerge with airing, emphasizing the nobly rotten side of a wine both palpably dense and almost weightlessly buoyant. Sappy plum paste and luscious yet refreshing pineapple mingle with honey and caramel on a creamy rich palate, engendering a confectionary, almost taffy-like impression, yet there is persistent invigoration and refreshment – not to mention seduction – in this wine’s amazingly long finish as well. I am confident (some of) you will still be awed by this in 40 years.’ - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, 96/100 (Nov 2009)
