An Alberta-based consignor who worked his way through university, gaining experience at renowned restaurants with exceptional wine programs. His passion for food and wine grew as he surrounded himself with like-minded people who shared the same enthusiasm for the subject. With nearly 20 years of experience in the wine industry, he holds both his sommelier accreditation and the WSET Diploma. He has been collecting wine since 2007 and is the sole owner of all the bottles in his collection. He purchases his wines upon release through retailers via the AGLC, and each bottle has traveled directly from the winery to the retailer, before being carefully stored in his cellar.
The rating for 2019 Egon Muller Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett is 96 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Shimmering and pale but brilliant and slightly lime-greenish in color, the 2019 Scharzhofberger Kabinett is crystal clear and precise on the pure, fresh and coolish, highly refined and complex flinty-scented nose that is unmistakably Egon Müller's regular Scharzhofberger Kabinett (there is an Alte Reben bottling for the auction in September, too). Lush yet precise and enormously piquant and salty on the palate, it displays crisp white stone fruit aromas and the crystalline mineral nerviness of the iron-rich gray slate soils that eat up the residual sugar easily so that the taste is just electrifying and salty yet not really sweet. This is a frisky, mouthwateringly salty and piquant Riesling of remarkable precision, finesse and elegance, with picture-book tension for Kabinett. The finish is highly stimulating and incomparable. I dare to say that this Kabinett is my favorite this year due to its precision and coolish, precise nature. Tasted from AP 3-20 in April and June 2020.
