2020 Scharzhofberger Riesling Spätlese Versteigerung Egon Müller

Mosel Fine Wines - 2020 Scharzhofberger Riesling Spätlese Versteigerung, Egon Müller

The 2020er Scharzhofberger Riesling Spätlese AP 08 (an auction lot) was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a magnificent nose of anise, vineyard peach, herbs, honeyed pear, apricot, greengage, and a hint of beeswax. The wine proves magnificently juicy but also still quite restrained at this early stage. The wine is beautifully structured with still a touch of “baby fat” to burn on the palate but already hints at greatness to come in the splendidly focused, intense, and pure finish. This sweet wine will easily require more than a decade to fully shine, yet the long patience will more than be rewarded. What a stunner in the making! 2035-2060. - Nov. 2021
