Cellier Interprofessionnel des Vins d’Alsace Altenberg de Bergbieten Alsace Grand Cru Riesling 1995

Alsace, FranceFrom the cellar. Heady honeycomb notes lead and linger through this Grand Cru Alsace riesling from clay and limestone-laced Altenberg de Bergbieten. The honeyed notes continue, filtered through broken, lightly smoked stone and ash on the waxen palate. This pronounced wine echoes with medicinal pear and marmalade, and is cut with a beam of acidity to a lengthy finish. At twenty-one years of age, this is the time to drink and enjoy.Tasted: 03 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
