The 1971 Scharzhofberger Riesling Beerenauslese is burnished gold in color. The bouquet wafts generously from the glass, carrying intense acacia honey, chamomile, marmalade and Japanese yuzu aromas, all extremely harmonious and never overpowering. It is utterly intoxicating. The palate is unctuous on the entry, as you would expect, although age has mellowed this Beerenauslese so that it comes across as effortless. Crème brûlée, vanilla, quince, chamomile and orange pith seduce the senses, the concentration offset by a killer line of acidity. It gently crescendos, but never demands attention on the finish – it is far too sophisticated to entertain ostentation. And the length is just ridiculous. After 47 years, this is perfect to drink now, although on this showing I can see no reason why it will not give pleasure over the next 47 years or more.
