2014 Scharzhofberger Riesling Q.b.A.

Vinous: The combination of fresh lemon and grapefruit with pure but piquantly pit-tinged white peach is familiar from other offerings in the present collection; ditto the smoky and herbal accents that add to this bottling’s invigorating stimulation, including an almost garrigue-like impression of marjoram. Firm in feel by estate standards and with decidedly stony underpinnings, this represents a relatively austere but impressively sustained performance that should become more impressive with time. - David Schildknecht, Jul. 2016
