The 2004 Scharzhofberger Riesling Spatlese smells of peach and diverse flowers, both of which are vividly present on the palate, which shimmers brightly with its interplay of citrus and mineral. The creaminess of texture exhibited is of a most subtle sort, combined with delicacy of touch and of flavors. Indeed, the finish seems rather understated, until you realize that it just goes on and on in its oscillation of floral, pit fruit and mineral essences. Given the quality of this wine, not to mention the opportunity to experience a terrific example of a prestigious site, this represents a sensational value. Importer: P. J.
