96 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "This magnificent riesling Spatlese combines cool crystalline purity with floral warmth. Very exciting interplay of racy acidity with aromatic grape sweetness and delicate minerality on the medium-bodied palate. The super-long and sleek finish has great stony intensity and mouthwatering freshness that pulls you inexorably back for more of this delicate Saar masterpiece. Great aging potential. Drink or hold.

95 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2022 Riesling Scharzhofberger Spätlese has an alluring flicker of bergamot on its citrus-scented nose, green-tinged, highly aromatic and not too distant from tart but perfumed passion fruit. The palate brings Mirabelle compote, sweet but laced with citrus freshness. The mouthfeel is super-fine, heightened, like being inside a cloud of fruity, citrus-perfumed, moist air. This is ethereal, scented and elegant, with a headily aromatic finish full of citrus allure. (Sweet) Drink: 2025-2060. (Oct 2023)"

93 points Mosel Fine Wines: "AP: 06 23. The 2022er Scharzhofberger Riesling Spätlese is a sweet wine which has a restrained yet very elegant nose of vineyard peach, minty herbs, Conference pear, and acacia. The wine proves delicately smooth and ripe on the creamy and smooth palate. The finish leaves a fruity and smooth feel of fruits and is superbly intense and long. This Spätlese will need more than a decade to release all its complexity and integrate its elements. 2037-2062. (Jun 2023)"
