Riesling Schlossberg Grand Cru 2018 Trimbach

Avis professionnels

Jancis Robinson (17)

Deep greenish straw colour. Surprisingly peachy nose (as opposed to the steeliness of many Trimbach Rieslings). Floral (lilies?), broad palate with a suggestion of violet cachous. The really impressive aspect of this wine is the grippy finish and persistence. Plush, satiny texture. I'm pretty aware of the alcohol on this wine – much more so than on the Sélection de Vieilles Vignes. Masses of burnished extract. I'd keep this awhile to develop more complex tertiary characters.
