Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile 1996 Trimbach

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (90)

Trimbach's 1996 Riesling Frederic-Emile cuvee displays the nose of a mature wine yet a youthful, unevolved personality. As the question mark indicates, I am uncertain how this will play out. Rich aromas of creamed almonds and Cynar (an Italian artichoke liqueur) are found in this medium-bodied, dry, concentrated, and broad wine. Precise nut, mineral, lime, and herbal flavors make up this complex, impeccably balanced offering's personality.

Subtle, showing ripe quince, peach, spring meadow and mineral aromas and flavors, all married to a rich yet restrained framework. Racy acidity is balanced by a density and clarity of flavor, with the quince and mineral expanding on the finish.
