Bordeaux Index, London Tasted Thursday, March 19, 2009 by Rupert with 924 views
A selection of Scharzhofbergers supplied direct by Egon Muller and presented by Michael Schuster. The younger wines were uniformly stunning.
Some citrus, blossom, quite fat, direct, long, piercing and pure

Some spritz, gunflint, more elusive on the nose than the '06, though much more concentrated, indeed, this is amazingly powerful and rich
Rubber and petrol on the nose, mouthwatering, surprisingly full and sweet, tangy, botrytis, not big, but beautiful
Lean, high toned, petrol, dank cellars smell - and not much substance on the palate - not nice
After the kabinetts, this came across as very sweet, primary, luscious, long, very impressive
Markedly smaller than the '05, leaner, peppery, not too sweet, classic and very lovely
Petrol, tangy, some spritz, full and smooth, some botrytis
Lean, peppery, very vibrant, builds and builds, sweet, powerful, exciting
Weak, buttery nose, oily, not much on the palate but what there is sickly - thumbs down
Not a great deal on the nose, piercing and powerful, grapey, sweet, razor-like acidity, fairly simple, but the intensity is fantastic
Shy nose, but on the palate, just the right balance of petrol, fat and zing - lovely and harmonious
Much darker than the straight auslese, estery nose, fat and raisiny, long - lovely on the palate, shame about the nose
