Trimbach Riesling


Name:Trimbach Riesling
Variety:Riesling
Year: 2012
Price: $22
Region:Alsace
Country:France

international wine cellar review- 87 Points 
($20) Pale bright yellow. Restrained aromas of ginger, caraway seed, underripe pineapple, flowers and crushed stone, with a riper note of peach emerging with air. Dense, juicy and penetrating, with good texture and weight for a basic bottling. Finishes a bit warm, but there's no shortage of flavor here.

My Review: I was really excited to try this winery's riesling.  The nose was fruity, a tropical fruit.  The taste itself was not as impressive as I was hoping for (maybe the vintage?).  The mid palette was short and sweet followed by a sour and very acidic finish.  The finish was too strong and overpowered a lot of the subtle earlier tastes.  I did not taste this with food.
