Altenberg de Bergbieten Alsace Grand Cru Riesling

Nice Alsatian GC at a nice price. Weighty orchard fruit, well balanced acidity and sweetness.

Lovely nose with hints of physalis and petroleum. Cleansing mouth feel with good minerality and lingering aftertaste. Aromas of white flower and key lime.

Birthday wine with la alsacienne.

Super! More on the super dry side like an underripe lemon

Golden apples, bosque pear, lychee, kaffir lime, gardenias, petrol, saline, rubber, beeswax. Lively rounded acidity, medium bodied, juicy-satin texture, long complex floral-smoky finish. Delicate aromatics, mineral rich texture, persistent and amplified on palate. Terroir driven beauty.

Gold color. Riesling burn rubber nose, some yellow apple. Medium body, good acidity. Long finish. Very good.

Very nice - nicely fruity on the nose, medium to full bodied, just a hint of sweetness, excellent acid and a nice long finish. Had at Auberge d'Ill.

I wish I had more experience with GC Reisling.

No bashful date this one; it will go toe to toe with you
