Tasting: Willm Alsace Grand Cru Riesling Kirchberg de Barr 2011

Name: Willm Alsace Grand Cru Riesling Kirchberg de Barr 2011
Variety: Riesling
Region: Alsace Grand Cru
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $20.95 
Shop review: "92 Points on 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." -Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Willm Alsace Grand Cru Riesling poured a white color with slight yellow hues.  Scents of pears, apples, and hints of honey and flowers filled the nose.  I picked up apple skins upon tasting.  This riesling was acidic on the tongue and sour upon finish.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
