The real deal, folks. You don’t have to like it to appreciate it, but I suppose “haters gonna hate”. Extremely spicy, dense, ultra-concentrated Gewurz. Bursting with ripe mango and passion fruit, cinnamon and allspice. Not a lot of acidity, but the concentration and aromatics are screaming. Power and intensity in spades. This is unmistakable and honest Alsatian Wine from a very underrated producer.

Oxidized but still ok if you imaging the wine being 40 years older

Yep, this is what aged Riesling is about. Ample acid, fruit, tertiary notes all balanced with a M+ body and length that doesn’t quit.

手持ちの08アルテンベルグ・ド・ベルクハイム。混じり気のないピュアなミネラル感と余韻の伸び。素晴らしいワインでした。
