Riesling Scharzhofberger Spätlese
-- Parker: The 2013 Scharzhofberger Spätlese is even finer, more floral, herbal and intense on the bright and extremely delicate nose than the Kabinett but, on first sight, neither richer nor more fruit-driven. A deep and concentrated bouquet of yellow apples, limes, green tea and herbal aromas along with spicy flavors of cardamom, fenugreek seed and rye on the pure nose lead to a dense, well-concentrated, semi-sweet and piquant palate full of elegance, raciness, finesse and balance. This is a full-flavored, complex, lingering, salty and mineral-backboned Spätlese for the next 20 or 30 years. It tastes less sweet than so many other Saar and Mosel Spätlesen and, thus, is a great wine to be enjoyed with food. 94/100
