Egon Müller Scharzhof Qualitätswein 2005

Sadly no bottle shot worth posting, so instead a picture looking out to the Swan River from the Claisebrook cove bridge. This is metres away from where I consumed the wine in question.

For an entry level wine, this is extremely delicious. Crystalline and pure, this smells of a sticky childhood afternoon (with mustard fruit and toffee apple). Vibrant, juicy and precise, this should carry a dental warning and come in a bigger bottle. . .

Very very good.

Has Barry been pushing you to drink more German stuff? You left out the acquisition cost of this - just curious how much the German stuff costs down there (and you mentioned "entry level"). I'm looking forward to your upcoming Spatburgunder notes...

Joe,

G'day. This was $A70 from a restaurant list, I think it retails for $35 in the stores, if you can find it. Not too bad, though I'm sure it's cheaper in Canada. . .

I like the idea of 'blaming' Barry for my recent drinking patterns! I've always been a fan of Germanic rieslings, so it did not take much prompting.
