Tasting: Willm Alsace Grand Cru Riesling Kirchberg de Barr


Name: Willm Alsace Grand Cru Riesling Kirchberg de Barr
Variety: Riesling
Region: Alsace
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $20.95

Winery Review: “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.”


Personal Review: This wine had a really pretty golden color! Although it had a sweet aroma, it was rather dry. The wine’s bouquet reminded me of a sweet perfume. After tasting it, the wine had a slight mineral taste. This mineral taste was similar to licking a rock or a stone. I did not have this wine with food, but I think it might be interesting to try it with an Asian meal. The sweet, mineral taste might go well with the spiciness of the dishes.
