Müller/Egon Riesling Auslese Scharzhofberger 2022

98 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "TA cornucopia of ripe summer fruits and flowers pour from the glass of this spectacular Saar Auslese, it’s difficult to tear yourself away from the nose. Serious concentration on the medium- to full-bodied palate but in a self-confidently relaxed manner. No drama, much less pomposity. Instead, ever more compelling as it flows over the palate. Fabulous textural complexity at the finely-nuanced finish. Decades of ageing potential! Drink or hold. (11/9/23)"

95 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2022 Riesling Scharzhofberger Auslese is still closed on the nose. It takes a lot of swirling to awaken passion fruit and citrus hints. The palate is rich and concentrated with grapefruit-edged peach preserve, almost peppery with its grapefruit spice, Intense yet balanced, fresh, and harmonious. Citrus savor, tart and aromatic, highlights the essential and inherent finesse. Nothing is too much, yet there is baffling intensity. Beautiful. Grapefruit and peach flavors shine on the long finish. (Sweet) Drink: 2025-2060. (Oct 2023)"

94 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 08 23. The 2022er Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese AP08 is a noble-sweet wine made from botrytized fruit. It offers a superbly refreshing yet delicately aromatic nose of minty herbs, candied grapefruit, pineapple, passion fruit, and licorice. The wine is impressive and rich on the fully noble-sweet and intense palate. The feeling of acidity is on the lower side, making this come over as comparatively broad and powerful. The finish is super impressive and hugely long. This mighty and intense Auslese needs a long cellaring time before true greatness. 2037-2072. (Jun 2023)"
