Tasting - Willm Alsace Gran Cru Riesling

Variety: 100% Riesling
Region: Alace
Country: France
Year: 2011

Shop Review: 92 Points - Wine Enthusiast
With great intensity and structure, this is a wine that's all about texture and potential. Its' 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: I agree with the review. I definitely drank this young. The minerality was very earthy. Mostly clay mixed with rose petal. Compared to some other German Rieslings the acid seemed low. The taste was a cool semi-sweet flavor with a nice mineral finish.
