Müller/Egon Riesling Auslese Scharzhofberger 2017

97 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): “Although this Saar Auslese is still a bit closed, it already shows sensational refinement and elegance. With aeration, the aromas of tropical flowers and fruits slowly emerge. The wine seemingly wraps its tendrils around you and pulls you into its seductive embrace. Better from 2019, but there’s no rush. There’s decades of aging potential here. (6/19/18)”

96 points Mosel Fine Wines: “AP: 07 18. The 2017er Scharzhofberger Auslese was harvested at a full 120° Oechsle. The wine develops a beautiful pure nose of coconut, under-ripe pineapple, apricot, elderflower, bergamot, passion fruit and delicately honeyed elements. It proves gorgeously smooth and elegant on the hugely focused and delicately playful palate, where layers upon layers of vibrant exotic and orchard fruits mingle with zesty acidity and mineral elements. The finish is smooth, delicately creamy, yet also superbly vibrant and long. This Auslese will please lovers of very pure and refined expressions of noble-sweet Riesling. 2027-2052. (Jun 2018)”
