Scharzhofberger Kabinett, Weingut Egon Müller 2016

The 2016er Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett still proves slightly marked by some Sulphur reduction which gradually gives way to great notes ofsmoke, wet slate, rosemary, orange blossom, minty herbs, and cassis. The wine proves superbly playful and refined on the zesty and undercooledpalate. The density is excellent and the finish vibrating and pure. This is a splendid Kabinett, which still needs a couple of years to show even morecomplexity and depth. 2031-2046

This wine offers a splendid nose of cassis, elderflower, pear, white minerals and fine spices. The feel on the palate is gorgeously integrated, with a tickly touch of acidity adding vibrancy to the beautiful display of creamy orchard fruits. The finish is all about zest, fresh yet ripe fruits and tart minerals. This beautiful effort, cut along the Estate’s 1997 Kabinett, only needs a decade of aging to integrate its sweetness. It should then prove a stunner! Drink 2026-2046.
