2017 Trimbach Riesling Reserve

Pro Reviews

Wine Spectactor (WS)

A lovely nose of petrol and white pepper leads to flavors of apricot, star anise, lemon peel and herb in this elegant, light-bodied white, defined by finely cut, steely acidity. Offers a long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2030. -AN (02/29/2020)

Wine Enthusiast (WE)

Subtle aromas of chamomile, peach and a hint of yarrow create a fresh and appetizing nose. The palate is vivid in lemon freshness that brightens creamier, earthier notions on the midpalate. It is bone dry, fresh and vivid. -Anne Krebiehl (05/01/2020)

James Suckling (JS)

White stones, lemon curd and fresh almonds are all brought into focus. Only minimally off-dry and medium-bodied and steely. Medium-long and quite zesty on the finish. Drink now. -James Suckling (07/20/2019)

Vinous Media (VM)

Luminous straw-green. Mint and melon on the deep, refined nose. Fresh and lively in the mouth, hints of celery and chamomile complicating ripe pomaceous orchard fruit flavors. The acidity is well integrated, and the long finish is focused and energetic. There’s a great deal more depth here than in Trimbach’s 2017 entry-level Riesling. This is an outstanding Alsace Riesling that is the equivalent of many Riesling Grand Cru wines made by other producers. – Ian D’Agata – 31/01/2019
