2001 Marcel Deiss - Le Grand Vin d'Altenberg

Dressed in a golden-apricot robe, the 2001 Grand Cru Altenberg de Bergheim has a clear, fresh and spicy, stewed-peach aroma with minty and refreshing green and earthy flavors. On the palate, this is a concentrated, precise, fresh and elegant, highly finessed, but also tension-filled, Altenberg. It has concentrated apricot and peach aromas, a remarkable acidity, grip and great freshness as well as a long, crystalline, sweet, piquant and salty finish. The 2001 is another gorgeous Altenberg that is highly elegant and seductive in its ripe and concentrated fruit and crystalline, salty, highly stimulating character.
