Egon Müller Scharzhofberger AUslese GK is an auction bottling (that will be hammered this Autumn)
You write Erste Gewächs but it really means Erste Lage, which is a different concept to Erstes Gewächs / Grosses Gewächs... Germans like to make things complex ...

Let us know what you find tomorrow. At least I think we could agree that he is a rather eccentric guy? But then, who isn't...?/A
Anders Källberg wrote:Thanks for the clarification and correction, Jean. I should have checked the different uses of "first growth" in Germany better. Erstes Gewächs is only used in the Rheingau, right? And in the other regions it is Grosses Gewächs. I've tried to learn this, but due to the lack of logics, I seem to forget it again...
Are not all the GKs auction wines? For instance the one Zilliken had at the tasting?
