Trimbach, Riesling Grand Cru, Schlossberg

Clear, pale, gold in appearance. The nose is clean with med intensity. The palate is dry, with med(+) acidity, med alcohol, med body, med(+) intensity and a med(+) finish. Notes of apple, lemon zest, wet stone, flint, and touches of peach and petrol. The wine is very good with points for balance, length, and intensity. Drink or hold for another 8-10 years. Just beginning to show some petrol notes, still tastes young.

Drinking very well from this forward warm vintage. Still energetic and refreshing if lacking some of the linear cut and acidity of the '08.

One of my favourites, It got better on the second day.

Popped and poured with Sushi. I found it to taste better before and after the meal--didn't exactly taste great with the food, strangely. Wine definitely has a mineral focus and tastes like a fuller mineral water to me--which isn't unpleasant. Jeff "the wine tastes great!/tastes like a sauv blanc!" Acidity still present and refreshing and the finish lingers just overall my impression is mineral water... I do have to say, though, that I'm downing my allotted two glasses far too …

Hints of slate and sulphur, with stone, mineral and apple notes. The palate follows the bouquet, with bright underlying acidity. A bit too sharp for the arugula, blue cheese and pear salad, this clashed with the vinaigrette.

Initially let breathe for about an hour and consumed over 3-4 hours. Bouquet of ripe pear, touch of apricot, and flinty mineral. Palate was fresh and zippy in a dry, light:medium bodied frame, with notes of green Anjou pear, Golden Delicious apple, apricot, slatey minerality and just a hint of vanilla underneath. Got better with 2-3 more hours of air, yet started to lose its freshness and vibrancy after 4 hours being open. Showed a nice mix of acidity with …

Solid Dry Riesling. Good with broiled fish.

L95901X16. Pale color with notes of limestone, slate, white peach, apple and stone fruit. The minerality continues on the palate with chalk and limestone, lemon, florals and peach blossom qualities. Acidity is fresh and lively. Very nice. 88+ pts for me, 89-90 for Domino.

Super sweet, not crisp at all, very disappointing Alsace

This Riesling has a nice golden yellow color with a nose of bright, ripe fruit. It tastes of pear, apple, minerals, and vanilla. The wine is crisp and very dry, with tangy acidity and ripe fruit. The finish was moderate. I think that this bottle is at it's peak now! This was our second bottle at Thanksgiving Dinner after a Vermentino.

Not too sweet, unlike the Gewurztraminer from the same producer.

Pale color. Slate, mineral and pear aromas follow through on the palate. Decent acidity; medium finish.

used for sauce

2009 vintage

Golden straw. Green apples, sweet stonefruit, citrus, hint of vanilla, touch of florality, and a whiff of petrol on the nose. Crisp, dry mouthfeel features stonefruit, lemons, crushed rocks, fine middle acidity, and a steely finish. Refreshing.

2009 vintage

Drank on reports if decline but my bottle was at a peak - no less fruit than a year or so ago. Stored in a proper cellar and I could see this wine not holding up well stored over 60 degrees. That said its barely a notch pricier than a daily drinker so what evs as the kids say ...

2009 vintage

Fruit is getting thinner and thinner.

2009 vintage

Nose - apple light petrol Mouth - steely, fully dry, very pure. Drinking it on the heels of a Keller Von der fels (2011), and in comparison it is slightly under fruited. But overall still very nice.

2009 vintage

Light straw color. Hints of apple & papaya on the nose. Almost bone dry with lemon and green apple. Light body at 55 degrees, but gets rounder and fuller as it warms. Medium finish. Would buy again. At this price point, better than almost all domestic Rieslings I've tried.
