Vieilles Vignes Altenberg de Bergheim Alsace Grand Cru Riesling 2015

Loads of petrol, liquid mineral, and apple skin fruit on the nose. Still quite fresh (fresher than a bottle I had several years ago, as I recall). Rich, with tons of dry extract, in the mouth. Deeply mineral, dense, slightly bitter-edged apple fruit. Almost overwhelming. But in a good way. Great wine. — 6 months ago

As great as Alsatian wines are generally, once you start opening the “big boys” (Grand Cru), it’s amazing how rich, complex and age worthy they are!!

I am always on the east of the Rhine in Baden. Freiburg. Next time i really have to make an effort to visit the region.

Atanasius Rot Zweigelt - Blaufränkisch Blend 2023

My new favorite Austrian wine! Had the Josephine a while back but we did not become great friends. Anatasius, however, is playful, fruitful, and slightly bubbly. Made a new friend. — 2 months ago

Berckem Alsace Grand Cru White Blend 2019

Another Grand Cru from my favorite Alsacian producer.
Poura yellow, I get canary melon, botrytis honey comb, passion fruit, lychee.
Just slightly off dry, the acids have a mustard like quality. (the area is surrounded by mustard fields and I swear that I can smell and/or taste mustard greens/flowers in many wines of Berckem). Follows up with roasted apple flavors, and an incredible clean but long finish.
I wish I could open a bottle of this every night.

Hermannsberg GG Nahe Riesling 2019

Wow. Just classically awesome gg out of the gate.

Nose: screaming white and yellow flowers. So intense. A dusting of powdered minerals. Perfect. As this opens gods white flower perfume. Intense. Clean. Perfect.

Palate: perfection on the attack. Minerals form yellow flowers and stone fruits. Amazing density. Pulls no punches. Utterly delicious. Perfect balance.

A textbook nahe Riesling.

Honestly it’s so delicious I want to guzzle a bottle with a bag of potato chips. But it’s so good I just want to smell it’s all night.
