Score 91/100 · David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, Oct 2006
Muller’s 2005 Scharzhofberger Riesling Spatlese A.P. #4 offers aromas and flavors of lightly poached peach with a subtly spicy, pungent and honeyed overlay of noble rot. Its impression on the palate is dense and overtly slatey, with fresh peach and apple, subtle notes of honey and white raisin, all of which inform a pure, lingering finish. Also recommended: 2005 Riesling “Scharzhof” ($ unknown; 86). Importer: Frederick Wildman & Sons, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700
