With his Scharzhofberger 2015, Roman has hit the Grosse Gewächse jackpot. The rich texture and rocky minerality may resemble those of the Volz, but delightfully refreshing acidity lightens the load. If Egon Müller made a dry Scharzhofberger, it couldn’t be better. This is a monument that runs the whole gamut of minerality from salty to medicinal and from rocky to flinty. With so much grace and elegance I save myself describing the body. (MS)
This delivers a gorgeous nose of white melon, cassis and pear, all enhanced by great scents of white flowers and smoky slate. The wine is superbly elegant and precise on the palate, with a multi-layered feel of pear, slate and minerals simply playing havoc with one’s senses. A slightly tart side comes through in the ethereally long, delicately powerful yet refined finish. This only needs a little bit of time to shine and develop its full potential.
This is a little stunner in the making with huge upside. 2018-2030
