(Trimbach Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile) This is a wine I have always loved but have not drank enough of it. It is one of the first dry Rieslings I latched onto. This was supposed to be a great vintage and it was. Petrol, lemon, curd-like aromas on the precise and steely nose. Palate was lemony and rich but with a lovely austere mineral streak. Great acidity that was there from the beginning to the finish. Electric. Did not greatly improve as it remained open but no need as this sung from first sip to last.
