  Pale straw. Faint citrus nose. Dry, citrusy, hint of chalk. Nice but a bit too lemony.

• 2008 Château Belá (Egon Müller) Dry Riesling 85 Points

  Slovakia, Južnoslovenská, Štúrovský

  Dark straw. Honeydew nose. Not bone dry and exhibiting some tropical fruit. Lacking some backbone and a bit flabby. No comparing to Egon Muller's German wines.

  Made from a blend of several vineyards. Pale straw. Great nose of lychee and baby powder. semi-sweet and very fresh on the palate. I could drink this all day.

  Flinty, fruity nose. Pineapple, toasted almonds. Nice sweetness with perfect balance and solid structure. Very good indeed though still primary.

  Only slightly darker than the 2004 vintage... Starting to get the petrol nose. Super smooth, nicely balanced. Quite drinkable now, but will age further very nicely.

  Gentle petrol nose. Notes of lychee, passion fruit. Hint of bacon too. Pleasant but lacking some acidity.

  Gorgeous petrol nose, tons of lime too. Irresistible mouthfeel, persistent finish. Amazingly balanced and opulent. Great stuff.

• 1990 Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling Spätlese 90 Points

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  Lots of petrol on the nose, but a bit lacking on the palate. Lots of acidity but not enough mineral backbone. Nice, but not great.

• 1988 Egon Müller/Le Gallais Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Auslese 90 Points

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  More acidic and less opulent than the 1989, and I found it less enjoyable. Still a good wine but pales in comparison.

• 1989 Egon Müller/Le Gallais Wiltinger Braune Kupp Riesling Auslese 93 Points

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  Noticeably less minerals than the Scharzhofberger wines. Quite sweet, but elegant. Nice now, balanced and with a good finish.

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  Elegant but lacking in concentration, both in sweetness as well as acidity. Medium length.

• 2005 Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese 97 Points

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  Simply amazing. Huge nose of botrytis, with toffee, apricots, almonds. Superb sweetness and screaming acidity. Truly a great wine from a low yield / high acidity vintage.

• 2007 Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 95 Points

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  Pineapple and botrytis on the nose. Incredible concentration that just lingers forever. Tremendous core of fruit with a nice mineral backbone. This will last for decades.

• 1983 Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 92 Points

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  Treacle and toffee, apricots, passion fruit combine with ample underlying acidity. Could be a little sweeter but great nonetheless.

• 1987 Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling Eiswein 92 Points

  Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

  Dark amber and clearly somewhat oxidized. Some acetone on the nose, along with toffee, hickory. Not as sweet as I'd expected, which is disappointing, but ample acidity. A bit strange due to the oxidation, but good nonetheless.
