Scharzhofberger Kabinett Alte Reben Versteigerung, Weingut Egon Müller 2016

(Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben Auction) AP: 03 17. The 2016er Scharzhofberger Kabinett Alte Reben is made from a plot of very old un-grafted vines believed to have been planted around if not before 1900. The wine proves hugely reduced at this early stage and only hints at beautifully complex scents of pear, elderflower, gooseberry, white minerals, flowers and fine smoke, with some cassis elements still buried deep inside the wine. This leads to a gorgeous feel of fine herbs and spices on the delicately smooth yet zesty palate and leaves a delicately ripe, clean and salty feel in the long finish. The potential of this hugely complex and refined effort is immense but it will require quite some patience before it will reveal its full potential. 2031-2046+
