Trimbach - Riesling Grand Cru Brand Alsace 2018 (750ml)
Trimbach Description
Grand Cru Brand Riesling is crystal clear on the nose, with citrus and exotic aromatics. The palate is generous, concentrated and full-bodied, with a beautiful tension. The granit terroir imparts a focused and dry style, but also precision and a wonderful salinity at the end. This wine pairs well with fresh water fish in cream sauce, poultry, goat and hard cheeses. Smoked fishes, eel and some japanese sushis will also go beautifully with this wine. Already delicious, this wine will deliver even more in the years to come and will keep for a good 10 years.
Vinous: 94 Points
Trimbach bought these two parcels of over 70-year-old vines on granite and mic in 2018. The 2020 Riesling Brand Grand Cru's nose is immediately redolent of the herbal lift of warm sites. There is dried lemon peel, thyme, smoke and earth. Yet the palate reverts to the taut house style of precision. Here a most powerful beast was captured, with drive and power, all muscle. Its ripe freshness is countered by concentration and a pithy texture. This will become oily and rich with age, projecting the sunshine of this warm site. (Bone-dry)
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Offers a rich, fleshy profile, with an attractive mix of steeped yellow plum, jasmine tea and earthy undertones of white mocha and marjoram. Well-cut, with juicy acidity adding balance through the fleur de sel–flecked finish. Finely meshed, with impressive mineral depth and power. Drink now through 2032. 380 cases made, 100 cases imported.
