LCBO buys Domaine Marcel Deiss Grand Cru Altenberg de Berghein 2008 @ $119 for Mar 5 Classics release. 95 pts Robert Parkers Wine Advocate: A multifaceted and seductive aromatic melange of musk, gardenia, heliotrope, marzipan, quince preserves, citrus oils, and herbal essences greets me from the glass of Deiss 2008 Altenberg de Bergheim. The creamy richness of quince paste and marzipan backed by residual sugar and high-glycerin while accompanied by inner-mouth florality puts me somewhat in mind of a great Chenin. Confectionary and baroque, this nevertheless preserves a remarkable sense of levity, vivacity, and primary juiciness, so that its long strands of finishing flavor seem to undulate and vibrate in their kaleidoscopically complex interaction. This extraordinary testimony to its site and to the co-plantation that is Deisss mantra ought to be worth following for the next 20-25 years.
