Famille Hugel – Riesling 2011 Vendange Tardive – Alsace

The nose is fruity, well-balanced and offers a slight elegance as well as a slight gourmandise. It reveals notes of ripe vine peach, candied lemon and slight notes of ripe Williams pear associated with slight notes of peach in syrup as well as a discreet hint of apple and beeswax. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a slight suavity, fat, a small roundness, a slight dynamism, a slight acid frame, a slight freshness as well as minerality. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of compoted peach, candied lemon and slight touches of clementine associated with a hint of pineapple as well as discreet hints of dried apricot, beeswax and a subtle hint of yuzu. Good length and persistence.
