Trimbach

Both flinty reduction and rose notes play on the nose. The palate comes in with concentration and a pithy, phenolic texture that lends structure and backbone to this rich, rounded, almost oily but dry wine. Pleasant citrus-pith bitterness sits well with the bold, warm but dry generosity. It's best to let this come into its own. Drink 2025–2035.

Somewhat dirty nose of spicy, honey, tangerine and sausage aromas with pungent, garlic lees undertones. Rich, round, fat style with honey, garlic, sausage, citrus flavours and old ginger, leesy notes on the finish. This needs to be cleaner and boast better acidity given the price of the wine and the reputation of the producer.
