Country of origin: France
Wine appellation: Alsace Grand Cru
Vintage: 2013
Alcohol content: 13.0%

Overall score: 4+7+11+6+7=85

Stopper: plastic cork to my surprise for Grand Cru
Far behind from my expectations from Grand Cru, the wine feels young at this point, but given the plastic cork it will hardly improve if aged. Considering the price it is reasonable value. Have 3 more bottle. I will place it to wine fridge due to plastic cork so it will not oxidize that quickly and will drink in next 2 years.
