Pinot Gris 'Hommage a Georgette' 1996 Trimbach

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (92)

The outstanding 1996 Pinot Gris Hommage a Georgette Trimbach is a magnificent wine with huge potential. Its sublime aromatics reveal poached pears dripping with honey and a myriad of spices. On the palate it is broad, crammed with candied white fruits, and medium-to-full-bodied. It is wonderfully ripe, impeccably balanced, and satisfies both the hedonistic desire for opulence as well as the intellectual requirement for nuance. The Trimbachs are planning to release this superb Pinot Gris in 2000, when they believe it will have begun to absorb its 14 grams of residual sugar (per liter).

A serious Pinot Gris, ripe and full of apricot and pear notes, yet also firmly structured and built for the long haul. The upright backbone emerges on the finish; do be patient.
