The Intense minerality of the vineyard is showing nicely here. It is coupled with the typical overripe yellow fruit notes of the Pfalz. Only little thing bothering is a slight bitterness in the end. But still, it is just beautiful to drink right now: like most 2008 Rieslings the drinking window is finally wide open. The Acham-Magin estate ,member of VDP, is one of the nice options for Forst wines if you don’t want to pay the skyhigh prices of Bürklin-Wolf.
…well, I haven’t tried too many of the expensive Kirschenstück or Jesuitengarten, but so far the wines from Ungeheuer are the ones which get me the most excited.
I thought Acham-Magin’s ’08 Ungeheuer really stands out from their range, but I also recommend their ‘Eruption’ Spätlese trocken (a “second wine” from Pechstein).
REPLY:
You’re right Didier. I had Eruption as a sample on their stand at a presentation. Really nice, but haven’t returned to the estate since then!
