Tasting notes
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!

This offers a stunning nose blending ginger, white minerals, grapefruit and star anise with some juicy scents of white and yellow peach and coconut. Jun 2016, www.moselfinewines.com, Drink: 2025-2050
A stunning spätlese that combines great delicacy of aroma with impressive richness and concentration. Very complex interplay of sweetness, fruit, minerals and acidity that continues right to the end of the very long pure finish. You drink this now or wait 10, 20 or more years.
