The sweet and dessert wine Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese, vintage 1999 from the winery Weingut Egon Müller-Scharzhof has been rated in 2007 with 95 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Riesling from the region Moselle in Germany.
Light greenish yellow, vital green reflections. Finest blossom honey on the nose, vineyard peach, delicate vegetal spice, mineral-slatey overtones, delicately smoky with air, multi-layered, some banana, ripe tropical notes. Juicy on the palate, yellow peach fruit, some vanilla, wonderful balance, finely integrated acidity structure, very long-lasting, finishing with freshness. Baroque opulence, more correctly described as rococo turned wine due to its playfulness.
More about the tastingPerhaps one of the greatest Scharzhofberger's of the last century! Clear and fresh on the nose, very spicy, with a clear botrytis note and crispbread. Its nervy, racy acidity structures the wonderfully dense, sweet, and juicy fullness and carries the unmistakably spicy Scharzhofberg minerality in a playful, stimulating way for all eternity, and there is an elegant bitter note. Has huge potential for ageing. Put it down, forget it.
