Tasting-Willm Alsace Grand Cru Riesling (white)-

Name: Willm Alsace Grand Cru
Variety: Riesling (white)
Region: Kirchberg De Barr
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $20.95

Shop/wine critic/winery review: 92 points-Wine Enthusiast. With great intensity and structure this is a wine that’s all about texture and potential. It’s expressive with white fruits and perfume, but there’s a richness that’s still to come. Drink from 2016 and see how the minerality and acidity will come into balance.





My review: Smell is very light and clears the nose with just a hint of vinegar in the background. It’s sweet when it first touches your tongue. Then transitions to a bit of a bite. There’s a good back round of flavor happening thought-out. It’d be interesting to see if it really is better after being aged.

CONCLUSION: Would not drink again


Not tasted with food
