(1x75cl) 2020Vinous (93)
The “regular” 2020 Riesling Scharzhofberger Kabinett (bearing A.P. #3) leads with quince and peach accented by mint, cress, ginger and lemon, setting up an overall impression of coolness, but also of brightness, with stimulating cut and pungency analogous to that of the corresponding Braune Kupp. In the background is a greenhouse-like amalgam of flowers and foliage. The phenolic concentration here belies a vintage with relatively generous yields even as the efficacious acidity and levity defy preconceptions concerning a year marked by summer heat and drought. The multifaceted finish, transparent to wet stone underpinnings, is tongue-tinglingly vibrant. Here is a Riesling Kabinett to really grab and hold your attention even as it delivers consummate refreshment and a bit of thought-provoking intrigue to accompany its entertainment value.HK$1,105.00 -

The 2023 Riesling Scharzhofberger Kabinett comes from a completely south-facing gray slate site, always cooled by the west wind. Tender lemon spells tartness on the nose, opening into tart Reine Claude while remaining on that citrus track. The palate offers finesse and lemony brightness, a vivid spray of ripe Amalfi lemon with delicate sweetness reminiscent of lemon confit and sorbet. Beautifully taut and wonderfully light.HK$8,275.00 -

Subtle floral aromas of peach nectar, ripe cherry, white raisin and lemon oil. The velvety, creamy tropical fruit flavors remain bright and elegant thanks to the wine's refreshing acidity. Juicy, spicy and long, with a pure, delicately luscious aftertaste. Can spätlese be better than this? In any event, this is my choice as the best of its ilk in 2012.HK$17,525.00 -

The 2013 Riesling Scharzhofberger Spätlese was opened for comparison, as 2013 was a similarly challenging vintage to 2023. The nose offers a deep, ethereal breath of lifted hayflower, chamomile and tansy steeped in lemon oil. These sinus-clearing aromas color Mirabelle jelly on the palate and lead to naked stone, to slate vibrating with lemon zestiness, calm now but exquisitely radiant and intense with depth. The lightness of body is amazing and the elegance disarming, as is the length. All of this has something of soothing, healing balm.HK$10,365.00 -

Whereas the corresponding Braune Kupp auction Spätlese represented a cask selection, this Scharzhofberger reflects a separate picking from the estate’s oldest vines, undertaken with the express intention of achieving auction potential. A head-turning nose and a palate luscious yet cheek-pinching in brightness and mouth-shakingly vibrant deliver white peach, grapefruit and lime wreathed in freesia and infused with Ceylon tea, moss and crushed stone. And as if my mouth wasn’t wrung out already, this beauty’s formidably penetrating, downright reverberative finish – transparent to a shimmering wealth of floral and mineral elements – exhibits tannic grip and milks the salivary glands with its salinity. I fantasized while tasting it that some of those collectors typically in a position to bid on this wine at auction might be scared off by its singular intensity!HK$8,590.00 -

The 2018 Scharzhofberger Spätlese offers a very fine and delicate, coolish, precise and flinty bouquet with bright and elegant fruit notes. On the palate, this is a finessed, beautifully round and lush yet filigreed Spätlese with sensual, silky-textured fruit and a long, complex, well-structured and salty-piquant finish. A gorgeous classic from the Scharzhofberg. Tasted from AP #6 in June 2019.HK$15,660.00 -

The 2019 Scharzhofberger Spätlese is brilliant, digitally precise and spicy on the clear, elegant, deep and terroir-typical nose with mango and papaya aromas. Tropical fruit aromas on the juicy, elegant, refined and seamless palate lead to a salty-piquant, mouth-watering and stimulating finish with great finesse and precision. This is Scharzhofberger at its very best and a Spätlese close to perfection! Tasted in April 2020.HK$10,815.00 -

The 2017er Scharzhofberger TBA was harvested at well over 200° Oechsle. What is remarkable here is that the wine proves so delicate and elegant despite its huge ripeness. The nose develops stunningly complex notes of greengage, date, marzipan, raisin, and fine herbs all wrapped into great creamy elements. The wine develops a stunningly vibrant yet also superbly creamy feel on the palate, where more date mingles with herbs and spices to make for a surprisingly refined and multi-layered feel for such a “big” TBA. The wine grows in oiliness and presence as it develops on the palate yet always remains focused and refined. It leaves one with a great airy feel of exotic dried fruits, whipped cream and honey in the never-ending finish. This is simply a perfect TBA in the making.HK$53,925.00 -

Influence of botrytis has steered this bottling in a very dried-fruit direction, with purple plum, white peach and quince on the nose taking on a pasted impression on the palpably dense, glossy palate. There is also a delicate aura of raw mushroom. Licks of cinnamon stick and lime zest add to the vibrancy and tactile grip of a severely concentrated finish. This definitely needs some time.HK$5,995.00
