The dark-golden colored 2017 Grand Cru Altenberg exhibits an enormously rich and complex, spicy bouquet of dried and stewed apricots combined with the purity and precision of the terroir as well as some caramel notes. On the palate, this is a rich yet fresh, pure and finely bitter/tannic Altenberg that has some features of the 2019 in terms of fruit and elegance but also the tannins and bitters of the 2018. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2022.
