„... red apple, ripe and "warm" in fragrance, yet still focused.
Two poles apart on the palate: a worn silkiness with a well-integrated acidity. Finally penetrating minerality.

97/100 Parker-Punkte 2016 Altenberg Riesling Alte Reben
„From Kanzem's top vineyard (and one of the greatest and warmest in the Saar Valley), the 2016 Altenberg Riesling Alte Reben has a super ripe, almost raisiny nose with very fine slate aromas. After a few hours, the nose gets finer and finer, and the flinty/stony flavors take over. Highly elegant on the silky textured palate, this is an intense, lush and powerful but finessed Riesling with enormous length and concentration and a super pure and salty finish. This is a great Altenberg that is almost accessible, although it can age for at east two decades.“

„Pineapple, black tea, peach, hay; intense, fruity-sweet lustre, racy acidity and slanted polished mineral balance, very intense, very long. “

95/100 2012 Van Volxem Kanzemer Altenberg
„... cool, fresh, light mineral, distinctive citrus fruit, with fine yeasty minerality, juicy and highly elegant.“
Weinwisser Zürich, 09/2013
„Scent of oranges and bitter zests, fine cassis, ethereal notes. Intense juice with a sweet and salty feel in the mouth. Intense, well integrated acidity thanks to a pronounced mineral structure. Transparent, animating, with an elegant but emphatic powerful delivery and a very long echoes.“
