Trimbach, Pinot Gris Selection de Grains Nobles

Deep amber coloured with a hint of red. Initially quince on the nose then got the apricots others describe with a touch of dried fig just starting to appear. Medium sweet with some balancing acidity. Very good.

Drinking very good now, however still plenty of life.

Honeyed, nutty, sweet dried stone fruits (peach, apricot), balanced by a spine of welcome acidity that keeps you going back for another taste. Just delicious. An out-of-left-field WOTN for me.

Just lovely. Beautiful gold to bronze color. Apricot, jam, orange sorbee. it's at first rich and decadent, but buffered with the most lilting and zippy acidity. Just coats the palate and sails on and on. Hard to put down.

Lovely liquid apricot, still youthful.

From coravin, liquid mandarin, tangerines, hints of lime. Smooth and delicious pairing with Thanksgiving dessert! This is a gorgeous dessert wine. I eventually opened the bottle and enjoyed it over a week. It held up fine in the fridge after I opened it. A great holiday celebration wine.

Tasted at the winery, golden color, intense dried apricots on the nose and palate, acid nicely balancing out the sweetness. Nice heft and viscosity.

Colour like a porter ale (reddish light brown). Good development- Although not a full dessert wine quite sweet (100 gr rs), maybe a little to much for foie gras on toast. Touch of bitterness in the aftertaste typical for pinot gris. Probably around peak now, but could be drunk for decades.

Clear amber color. Nose of petrol, baked apple, poached pear, and spice. On the palate, golden raisins, Christmas spice, baked apple, hints of date and fig. Long finish with piercing acidity.

I don't have words to describe how good this was tonite. Maybe tomorro my senses will return. It's delicious, but not ready yet. Maybe 2-5 more years... and it will be a 102 pt wine.

CT Texas V - North Dallas Forty and then some; 5/3/2013-5/5/2013 (McKinney, North Dallas, TX) : Another reminder that I must have more Pinot Gris from Alsace in my collection. This was simply beautiful with a nose of pineapple, orange rind, golden raisins, and stone fruit. On the palate delicious with candied orange peel, golden raisins, dried pineapple, stone fruit, and honey. Piercing acidity on the finish balances this out. Glad I have some.

WES Tour of Alsace - Trimbach : Smoky barley sugar, delightful, elegant nose. Pure and beautiful wine.

Domaine Trimbach (Cellar Door) : Deep amber colour and shining like a jewel. Beautiful candid peel and barley sugar on the nose. Raisoned, rich, smooth with more barley sugar and candid peel following through on the palate. Focused and long.
