Trimbach

Enveloping nose of super-ripe peaches and apricots with notes of mangoes and pineapple, but there's nothing loud about this gentle giant. I love the way the considerable power of this wine is underplayed and the deep minerality restrains this site's tendency to opulence. From two hectares of vines that are up to 70 years old. From organically grown grapes. Drink from release.

Although fuller in body, this is very fine and focused—even zesty—with notes of grapefruit and shaved ginger framing the core of quince, apple and gooseberry. Petrol note emerges on the long, well-defined finish.
