Von Kesselstatt's 2006 Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese Long Gold Capsule (another wine with an annually recurring nickname, -#10-, this year the A.P. #28) is loaded with peach preserves, maracuja, and honey, accented by peach kernel, vanilla, and brown spices. Rich and creamy, yet for all that, buoyant, and full of juicy fresh fruit suggestions, in the manner of so many of the best nobly sweet wines of this vintage, the pure, soothingly satisfying finish of this Scharzhofberger displays great poise, prodigious length, balanced sweetness, and a clarity that permits subtle stony and saline mineral nuances to shimmer through. Lock this away for a decade if you can manage the self-discipline, and anticipate at least a 30 year life span. -We organized early,- says Annegret Reh-Gartner, -and then harvested in two weeks what we usually harvest in four.- She felt her hand was forced on the Saar when many of their vineyards were hailed on September 30, but by the time the crew was mobilized the heavy rain of October 3 was upon them.Various importers including: P.
