Hugel Gentil '15

France, Alsace
White blend
$18ish

Poundability: 2.5/5
Value: 3/5
Overall: 3/5

Pale yellow golden color, light bodied.

Flavors of candied apple, with a nice zestyness.  Lemony at tip of tongue while also having a delicious tangy flavor that didn't taste cheap.

Very dry but still containing a bright, vibrant acidity that doesn't overpower at all.  Incredibly complex despite a relatively short finish.  Acidity brings down poundability along with zestyness but not in a bad way at all.  Prime introduction to Alsace wine, would repeat.

Picture pending.
