Gewurztraminer Comtes d’Eguisheim  |

VM 93 (11/2008): Bright straw-yellow. Pure, sexy aromas of spiced meats and clove. Broad, spicy and fat with fruit; as rich and horizontal as this is in the mouth, it also boasts terrific definition and subtlety. This, too, tastes sweeter than its four grams of sugar would indicate. But note that this wine will doubtless come across as drier and even more classic by the time it's released: Beyer was about to ship the 2003 (!) at the time of my visit. An outstanding vintage for this bottling. Stephen Tanzer.
WA 90 (10/2015): From a great vintage, the 2007 Gewurztraminer Cuvée des Comtes d’Eguisheim shows some caramel and bacon flavors along with notes of white pepper on the nose. Very elegant and very dry on the palate, this rich and intense wine is well structured and finishes with a nice grip, but is also somewhat bitter in the end. Is that due to the heating alcohol or/and the low sugar level? Honestly, I was expecting a little bit more from this highly regarded millésime, namely balance, tension and length. |

VM 91 (11/2008): Bright yellow-straw color. Superripe, nuanced nose combines orange, smoke, menthol and stone. Glyceral-rich but fruit-driven, with penetrating acidity framing and intensifying the peachy flavor. Dense with extract. The long, tactile finish leaves the salivary glands quivering. High in alcohol at 14% but not hot, perhaps due to its impression of low pH. Stephen Tanzer.
WA 91 (4/2010): Truffle, peat, and hazelnut on the nose of Beyer’s 2007 Pinot Gris Comtes d’Eguisheim lead to a palate of impressive richness yet incorporating the citricity and salinity that made the estate’s basic 2007 Pinot Gris so distinctive. Ripe peach, well-concentrated meat stock, and attractive fungal and forest floor note carpet a voluminous yet firm palate and lead to a long, stimulating finish. This should keep well for more than a decade. |

WA 92 (10/2015): The wine that is currently in the market is the 2007 Riesling Cuvée des Comtes d’Eguisheim. From "one of the finest vintages ever" (Marc Beyer: "Hot days and cool nights with practically no precipitation in September ensured optimal ripening conditions after a rather cold summer"), the 2007 delivers rich and intense aromas of white fruits along with floral and herbal (chamomile) flavors, whereas caramel and honey notes announce the maturity. Full-bodied, quite rich, and intense with a rather soft and well integrated acidity, but good tannin structure and a nice bitterness in the long and aromatic finish, this very elegant Riesling reveals a lovely maturity and perfect drinking condition. This is a great and highly intense Riesling classic with generous 13% alcohol but less than 3 grams per liter of residual sugar.
VM 91+ (11/2008): Pale yellow. Cool aromas of powdered stone and ginger lifted by a whiff of orange peel. Dense and quite dry, with superb precision to its stone and spice flavors, as well as an intriguing suggestion of tropical fruits that no doubt reflects the late harvest. This classic riesling finishes with explosive length and terrific cut. This is a full 13% alcohol, with less than three grams of residual sugar. Stephen Tanzer. |

Gewurztraminer Hors Choix SGN |

| WA 96 (4/2010): The 2007 Gewurztraminer Selection de Grains Nobles Hors Choix represents a cuvee designation that the Trimbachs also utilized in 1989 and 2000 for wine of near Esszencia-like richness. Essence of rose petal along with mirabelle preserves, mint candy, and brown spices on the nose are joined on a thickly-rich palate by honey, chocolate, and white raisin. Yet for all of its richness and gaudy, candied set of flavors, this preserves a juicy sense of leavening and refreshment in a finish of extraordinary persistence, its sweetness not in the least cloying. This should be a 50 year wine. |

| WA 94 (4/2010): The Trimbach 2007 Gewurztraminer Vendange Tardive smells of marzipan, purple plum preserves, litchi, smoked meat, musk, and macaroon. Rich and oily – like a gelee of Gewurz – it loads the palate with the taste-able side of the aforementioned aromatic cast, along with low-toned suggestions of toasted nuts, brown spices, dark honey, cocoa powder, and game pate that contribute to a reverberating chordal finish. This will not only be worth following for 25 or more years, its complexity and richness will also outlast its moderate youthful sweetness. |

Pinot Gris Reserve Personnelle Scuffed Label |

| WA 93 (4/2010): Given the quality of Trimbach’s least-expensive (“Reserve”) 2007 Pinot Gris, I was salivating in anticipation of their 2007 Pinot Gris Reserve Personnelle. Its 14.5% alcohol and 12 grams residual sugar are only a bit higher those of the amazing corresponding 2005 (lauded in issue 175), and the wine is no less remarkable. Toasted nuts and dried mushrooms mingle with ripe peach, quince, and mango on a oily palate, and this finishes ravishingly, with opulently ripe, almost confitured fruits and a faint hint of sweetness, balanced by smoky and bitter notes of snuffed candle wick, quinine, and toasted nuts, as well as by a fine sense of freshness. There is more than a little Chenin-like about this (as there is about the corresponding “Reserve” bottling), and I expect it will be worth following for at least two decades, even if few will. |

Riesling Clos Ste. Hune |

WA 96 (4/2010): Trimbach’s 2007 Riesling Clos Ste-Hune displays genuine intrigue in its array of floral, mineral and animal shadings focusing on narcissus, musk, shimmering crystalline stoniness, alkalinity, and savory salinity. Grapefruit and orange are tinged with juniper berry, quinine, as well as hints of white truffle that enhance the resemblance to 1996 (although Trimbachs compare this with their 2001). And while less austere than the corresponding Frederic Emile, this is no less penetratingly or exhilaratingly long. An amazingly extract- and energy-rich, kaleidoscopically multi-faceted Ste-Hune, it should be absorbing to follow for a quarter century or more.
VM 95 (1/2014): Trimbach’s 2007 Riesling Clos Sainte Hune, one of my personal favorites, is a great wine to kick off the night. Endowed with total symmetry and a seamless personality, the 2007 is fat, rich and explosive from the very first taste. Bright citrus, white flowers and mint notes emerge from the glass, but the 2007 needs to lose some of its baby fat before it starts to shine. Today it is very pretty, but also quite young.
VM 94+ (11/2008): Very pale, clear color. Extremely unevolved aromas of quinine, mint, lime, white flowers and white truffle. Dense and exhilarating, with an oily texture and piquant lime and mineral flavors that saturate the palate. Wonderfully pure and stony riesling, but still a baby. Today this is all about grip. The r.s. here is just 1.7 grams per liter, according to Pierre Trimbach, who compares this wine to the superb 2001 Clos Ste. Hune (he's also a great fan of the '05). - |

WA 91 (4/2010): The Weinbach 2007 Riesling Schlossberg smells of apple, pineapple and grapefruit; is clear and refreshing on the palate; and delivers cleansing fresh fruit accompanied by tingling salinity, citrus zest, and fruit skin in a long finish. This will be a delight to follow for at least a decade.
VM 91 (11/2008): Very pure aromas and flavors of ripe nectarine, lime and minerals. Quite juicy and precise in the mouth, with the wine's firm minerality and excellent acidity (8.2 g/l) giving it an even drier impression than its 5.7 r.s. would suggest. Laid-back, penetrating riesling-classic 2007. Should make a superb fish wine. The crop level here was just 34 hectoliters per hectare due to loss from hail, which Faller said was actually more of an issue in some of the estate's pinot gris and gewurztraminer parcels. Stephen Tanzer. |
