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 90+ (11/2003): Pale gold color. Explosive fruit aromas of peach, quince and orange zest, complicated by butter and smoke. Big, rich, dusty and chewy, with a flavor of orange marmalade. Very dense, strong pinot gris with noteworthy inner-mouth energy. Finishes very long, with no impression of heaviness. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find seriously rich but dry pinot gris like this. Stephen Tanzer. |

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. |

Very elegant, intense and mineral on the palate this concentrated and tightly woven edition of the Kessler bears a juicy core though it is still a baby with a great aging potential. |

|
| |
| 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. |

Pinot Gris Hommage a Jeanne |
$50 |

|
| |
WA 93 (12/2001): The 2000 Pinot Gris Hommage a Jeanne was produced from a selection of Trimbach's best Pinot Gris parcels (all harvested at over 15% natural potential alcohol). It sports 25 grams per liter of dry extract and 20 grams per liter of residual sugar. While at most firms this wine would merit a Vendanges Tardives bottling, the Trimbachs chose to pay homage to Jeanne Trimbach, the mother of Bernard and Hubert, who turned 100 in May 2000 and continues to drink Alsace's lovely nectars to this day. This gorgeous wine has mineral and smoke-imbued white peach aromas. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, dense, and rich. Layer after layer of apricot, poached pear, white peach, and spices can be found in its highly expressive, velvety-textured personality. It is an intensely concentrated, wonderfully balanced, fresh, and structured wine.
VM 92 (7/2001): Superripe but bright aromas of peach and honey. Very rich and honeyed; sweeter and less alcoholic than the Reserve Personnelle, and more easygoing at this early stage. Some of this fruit was picked very late, at VT weight. This very rich, long tokay makes the Reserve Personnelle seem almost riesling-like by comparison. Still, there only a moderate 19 grams/liter of residual sugar here. Stephen Tanzer. |

VM 95+ (12/2003): Superripe yet stony aromas of pineapple, lime, vanilla and coconut. Deep, large-scaled, very ripe and thoroughly dry (2.3 grams r.s. per liter), with penetrating flavors of crystallized grapefruit and pineapple and a repeating note of coconut. Like an essence of stone, with brisk acids giving the wine superb verve. Still an infant and built for long life.
WA 94 (12/2001): The 2000 Clos Ste.-Hune has intense mineral and herbal tea aromas that give way to a powerful, yet backward flavor profile, densely packed with liquid minerals, spices, smoke, quinine, and candied lime. For those willing to wait, this medium to full-bodied Riesling should rival some of the greatest Clos Ste.-Hunes produced. |

VM 95 (12/2006): Pale, bright yellow. Ripe pineapple, liquid stone and exotic honey on the nose, with a spicy lift that suggests an oak influence this wine does not possess. On entry, this is sweeter and creamier than the Frederic Emile, but it livens up quickly in the middle, showing powerful minerality and sharply delineated flavors of liquid stone, pineapple and citrus peel. Still, this conveys a distinctly glyceral impression that suggests more sweetness than its 5 grams of residual sugar, no doubt a function of the 20% or so botrytized berries (in contrast to the Frederic Emile, which included no botrytis). Communicates an impression of power with elegance, finishing minerally and long but not austere. Pierre Trimbach compared this wine to the estate's great 1990. This is already showing more Rosacker terroir than riesling character. About 9,000 bottles were made from 1.5 hectares of vines.
WA 94 (2/2008): The 2004 Riesling Clos Ste-Hune smells deliciously, mysteriously and complexly of grapefruit, blood orange, sassafras, mirabelle distillate, licorice, truffle, musk, lily, and chalk. Creamy and much richer on the palate than its Frederic Emile counterpart, it displays no less sheer density, stony minerality, or penetration. The finish here is truly palate staining, and as multi-faceted as the aromas. It would probably be a shame to uncork a bottle (especially given the aftermarket prices I have been seeing on these wines!) for at least a couple of more years after it is released in 2009. |

WA 93 (4/2010): Fresh lime, yellow plum, musk, and intimations of chalk dust in the nose of Trimbach’s 2006 Riesling Clos Ste-Hune usher in a strikingly fresh, firm palate possessed of meat stock and game-like animal undertones. This bottling of barely over 12.5% in alcohol is much more tightly-stitched than the corresponding Frederic Emile, and finishes with penetrating, bright length, combined with overtly crushed stone minerality. No Alsace 2006 of my experience can top this for focus, clarity, or long-term (I would estimate 12-15 years’) aging potential, although the Frederic Emile is in its very different way more striking, as well as more fun to drink now.
VM 91 (12/2008): Good bright, pale yellow. Sexy aromas of pineapple, mint and crushed stone; seems purer than the Frederic Emile. Then more pristine in the mouth as well, with little sign of botrytis to the citrus, stone and mineral flavors. Fatter than the Fred. Finishes broad, juicy and quite dry, with light resiny and fusel hints. A lovely 2006 riesling. |

This is bigger but not obviously better than the 2011 Frederic Emile and struck me as a rather salty, chunky version of CSH. Ian d'Agata. |

| WA 95+ (10/2015): As readers know Trimbach's iconic Clos Sainte Hune comes from a 1.67 hectare plot on the Grand Cru Rosacker but is sold as Clos Ste Hune since 1919. The densely planted vines are pretty old (more than 50 years on average), with the oldest planted in the 1940s and the youngest in the 1980s. Bottled, like all the prestigious wines of Trimbach in April 2014, the 2013 Riesling Clos Ste Hune shows a very clear and deep, dusty/smoky, mineral nose which impressively reflects the Muschelkalk terroir. Rich, precise and pure also on the nobly textured and highly elegant palate this expressive and full-bodied Riesling is penetrating mineral and piquant but also very juicy. The finish is extremely long and complex. Very promising and stunningly accessible already. However, this wine won't be in the market before 2019/20. |

| WA 96 (6/2017): The 2014 Riesling Clos Ste Hune is clear and intense on the concentrated nose, offering ripe white-fruit aromas. On the palate, this is a bone-dry, vital and finessed Riesling with a long and tension-filled, salty finish. The 2014 is a kind of quintessence of the Ribeauvillé/Hunawihr terroir: pure, lean, stony and salty, with no flesh, but lots of bones and minerals at this very early moment. Picked at 35 hl/ha this is a straight Sainte Hune that will last for for 30+ years. |

Dense, fresh and juicy, displaying outstanding sugar-acid balance and an opulent mouthfeel that is nicely lifted by penetrating notes of mirabelle, lime, wet stones, lemon peel and almond. While this enters sweet, it finishes very clean and dry. Boasts one of the most fragrant, prettiest and most forward noses I recall in a young CSH. Ian d'Agata. |

VM 98+ (4/2018): Luminous straw. Penetrating nuances of lime and guava join the lemon verbena, jasmine, mineral and white stone fruit aromas on the knockout, captivating nose. Then dense, complex and multilayered, offering profound flavors of fresh citrus fruit, sweet spices and talcum powder. Closes extremely long, clean and precise; this is a young white wine of utterly mesmerizing beauty. I find this to be one of the best young CSHs I have ever tasted; it is stylistically different but almost on the same quality level as the marvelous 2010 CSH. One sniff (never mind taste) and I was left almost speechless - and I’m not usually one who keeps his mouth shut when I recognize a truly great wine. Ian d'Agata.
JS 98 (7/2019): This is really phenomenal with such compact fruit and mineral, lemon and spice character. It’s full-bodied yet so refined and polished. It goes on for days. Glorious! Will be released by 2024. Drink on release or hold. |

| WA 93+ (3/2024): The bright-colored 2018 Clos Ste Hune Riesling shows an intense and very concentrated bouquet of ripe fruits and crushed stones. Muschelkalk limestone dominates the palate, which reveals a powerful, dense and still quite bitter Riesling whose compact phenols still cage this dormant Riesling on a stony and saline bed. The finish, however is very potent and long. A bigger glass and more time probably would have helped the wine significantly, because I believe it's greater than this score is suggesting. 13.3% stated alcohol plus four grams per liter of residual sugar. Tasted at the domaine in May 2022. |

VM 93+ (2/2016): Vivid straw-green. Penetrating mineral and lemon notes complement green apple and jasmine on the nose. Fresh and clean on the palate, offering pure flavors of wet stone and orchard fruits. The finish is long and crystalline. This wine is a first for Trimbach, as the estate had never produced a wine from the Schlossberg. Moreover, Trimbach was long opposed to labeling wines with grand cru names, only relenting in recent years. This Riesling is made from an especially high-quality two-hectare plot (of which only 1.6 is planted) situated in the heart of the Schlossberg grand cru, just above the castle. Trimbach bought the vineyard in 2012 but did not bottle a 2012 or 2013. (Drink between 2020-2034). Ian D'Agata.
WA 91 (6/2017): The 2014 Grand Cru Schlossberg Riesling (the first vintage the Trimbachs have produces in this cru) opens with a clear, dense, complex and lemony-flavored, finessed and pure nose of great delicacy. Very pure, but intense and mineral, this is a concentrated and stony, mineral Riesling, full of finesse, salt and tension. Complex, fresh and promising, with good tannin grip. Pretty closed and austere at the moment. |

| WA 93 (6/2017): The 2015 Grand Cru Schlossberg Riesling is only the second vintage (after 2014) and comes from a plot straight above the castle of Kaysersberg and below the forest that was planted 35 years ago. The wine opens with a very clear, fresh and cool bouquet, indicating lovely, concentrated, precise and fresh fruit. On the palate, this is a highly elegant, pure, rich, intense but lifted and finessed Riesling à la Trimbach, with fine but concentrated fruit, good acidity and a lingering salinity. It is a cool-climate Riesling coming from a higher and cooler plot in this prestigious, south-facing cru, which was perfect in a warm vintage like 2015. In fact, the 2015 is a great, dry, granite Riesling that was harvested with just 35 hl/ha and has a total acidity of 8.6 grams per liter! Total production: 3,500+ bottles. |

WA 94 (8/2014): The Weinbach 2009 Pinot Gris Altenbourg Vendange Tardive Trie Speciale features caramel apple, mango chutney, and liquefied heliotrope and lily in a flamboyant display of ennobled fruit concentration, decadent perfume, and spice. Seamlessly polished, it pours out generous sheer botrytis honey on a creamy, expansive mid-palate and prodigiously, seductively sustained finish. Crystallized ginger offers stimulating counterpoint in a superb performance likely to merit revisiting through at least 2035.
VM 93 (11/2012): Bright golden yellow. Very intense aromas of passion fruit, strawberry, truffle and caramel apple. Rich and thick on the palate but with fresh acidity framing and extending the ripe citrus, tropical fruit and smoky creme brulee flavors through a very long, creamy finish. Thistastes likean almost SGN-level VT without muchbotrytis, but the numbers--116.5 g/l residual sugar and 6.1 g/l total acidity--do not prepare the taster for its massive mouthfeel. |

| WA 94 (6/1999): The 1997 Tokay-Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive displays enthralling aromas of apricots and pears dripping with honey. This medium-to-full-bodied, thickly-textured wine has admirable focus, balance, and powerful super-ripe peach flavors intermingled with white raisins. It is intensely concentrated and complex. |

| JS 96 (6/2022): This smells of the ripest melon you can imagine. Fresh herbal notes, including a touch of mint. Super-elegant and bright with a very sensual, silky texture on the generous palate. The stunning concentration masks the high acidity that drives the very long and chalky finish. With this much vitality it surely has enormous aging potential. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. |

| JS 99 (6/2022): So smoky, with intense gunpowder character, but also notes of forest mushrooms and jack fruit. This is not only very concentrated, but also has an amazingly sensual mouth-feel that sets out in the wide field of exciting dry Alsace rieslings from the 2020 vintage. Expands and expands as it flows over your palate until it blows your mind at the unbelievably long, smoky finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. |

Riesling Hengst Grand Cru |
$88.95 |

| |
| VM 94 (4/2024): The 2022 Riesling Grand Cru Hengst is picked on the eastern side of the Hengst. The parcel was planted in 2016 with high density, and the first vintage of the wine was the 2021. Gorgeously smoky flint precedes subtle floral and tangerine peel notes. The juiciness on the palate is all-encompassing, spreading wonderfully ripe, fresh Mirabelle fruit pervaded by fine, tangerine-like ripe citrus. The 2022 is serene, bright and sunny, with a long, zesty aftertaste. (Bone-Dry) (Drink between 2026-2050). Anne Krebiehl. |

Riesling Sommerberg Grand Cru |
$88.95 |

|
| |
| VM 94 (4/2024): The August hailstorm hit the 2022 Riesling Sommerberg Grand Cru, which meant 50% of the crop was lost and concentrated the rest. This is from a granite site with more topsoil. Gorgeous white and yellow peach are perfumed on the nose, just edged with peach skin and citrus. The palate is absolutely pristine, so clear-cut, bell-like in its purity. It just flows. Despite its relative mildness, the 2022 is precise, balanced, bone-dry and supremely juicy, with more lovely peach skin on the finish. (Bone-Dry) (Drink between 2026-2050). Anne Krebiehl. |

Riesling Wineck-Schlossberg Grand Cru |
$76.89 |

|
| |
| VM 95 (4/2024): The 2022 Riesling Wineck-Schlossberg Grand Cru is on granite, rather steep, facing south-south-east in a narrower, more shaded valley. This is the first year this wine was made. An employee supplies the grapes. The vineyard is still in conversion. More than half of the grapes were lost to a hailstorm in August, so only 21 hl/ha was harvested. Smoke and a tropical overtone of mango flickers on the nose, touching on pineapple. The palate is superbly juicy and has that unimpeded, clear-cut brightness of granite and stony, unmitigated, salty, mouth-watering acidity. It finishes with slightly pithy zestiness. (Bone-Dry) (Drink between 2026-2060). Anne Krebiehl. |
