The golden-colored 2008 Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim offers an intense, elegant, aromatic and concentrated bouquet of perfectly ripe fruit aromas intertwined with hay, meadow, orange and lemon-peel flavors. Rich, sweet, fresh and elegant, with fine tannins and a lingering salinity, this is a gorgeously balanced and stimulating Altenberg that reveals a nice purity, mineral freshness and stimulating (tannin) grip. It is a gorgeous wine that tastes perfect today, but could age for 30+ years. This is a charming and highly elegant Altenberg. - Stephan Reinhardt
