Alsace Riesling Vendange Tardive 2012

- 95 points -

(4.3 g/l total acidity and 48 g/l sugar): Bright golden yellow. Candied lemon peel, custard cream and apple pie on the very rened nose, with a hint of minty herbs. Sweet, dense and lush, but with a terric spine of acidity framing the pineapple and fresh citrus avors. Really opened with aeration to show knockout complexity. Hugel was unsure initially about making a VT in this vintage but in the end opted to make this one. The grapes are from the Schoenenbourg
