Altenbourg Vendanges Tardives Alsace Pinot Gris 2008

9.5

This is flat out gorgeous. Although the nose is slightly holding back, on the palate this is broad and baroque, yet so bright and beautifully balanced. Unctuous, but not too much. Great maracuja-mango-pineapple-nectarine fruit. Lovely dashes of botrytis and sweet spices. Apricotpreserve and caramelised apples. Perfect acidity to even out the sweetness. Interesting touch of Triple Sec on the midpalate.
This wine is so charming and complete. I love it.
Only 10% ABV, so I had no problems finishing this half bottle! 😋 — 10 days ago

Furstentum Alsace Grand Cru Riesling 2001

9.1

Vintage 2001| Proof of a long life for riesling. The colour was really brown, mahony brown. Smell with a very little petrol, more honey. That honey is also present in the taste. Good balanced. Appreciating such a ripe wine is a matter of acquired taste. Paired with a mixed fish stew. — 5 months ago

@Peter van den Besselaar, while I generally love Riesling, I do prefer the German versions for aging. I’ve had (and still have) an odd bottle(s) of 1988 (1989?) Zind-Humbrecht Riesling “Brand”, but I prefer the other varietal bottling from Alsace (with the concession that the Alsatian bottles with the most potential longevity are their Grand Cru Rieslings)!!

Peter van den Besselaar

@Doug Powers Agreed. I guess the ratio in my cellar is 6:1 German vs French 😉
