Egon Müller Riesling Scharzhofberger Kabinett 2023

Lemon oil and delicate stone fruit carry a whisper-thin sweetness, held in check by the Saar's characteristically piercing acidity. Slate-driven minerality threads through the wine from entry to finish, lending a pure, almost austere edge to what is otherwise a deceptively giving Kabinett. Weightless in body yet impressively concentrated, the finish is lucid and long. Spring-loaded right now, give it 5–8 years and it will fully open up.
