Egon Muller, Scharzhofberger Auslese 2018 (1x75cl)

The 2018 Scharzhofberger Auslese (AP #8) is coolish, clear, intense and concentrated on the flinty and even rocky nose with its crunchy notes of broken slate and lemon juice. On the palate, this is a generous, highly elegant and refined, beautifully balanced and salty-crystalline Auslese with concentrated but detailed, elegant fruit, finely grained minerals and a long, complex finish. An impressive, great vin de terroir. Drink from 2020-2070. Tasted in June 2019 and published in Aug 2019 by The Wine Advocate.
