Tasting notes
Müller's pale-colored 2014 Scharzhof #1 displays lovely ripe fruit flavors. Full-flavored, juicy and piquant on the palate, provided with typical Saar acidity, this is a lush and well focused Riesling with vivid acidity and good substance. Impressively good.

Tart, appley and firm, this bundle of energy practically sizzles on the palate and penetrates with salivary gland-squeezing intensity, and arguably sets the tone for all of Egon Müller’s 2014s. It might be the estate’s intro-level wine, but I would give it some time in bottle before revisiting.
Apple and creamy citrus on the nose and an almost imperceptible hint of exotic perfume. A beautiful wine, all delicacy and purity and yet it has depth and lingers long. (JH)
