  Medium-light honey gold color, light but classic gewurz nose, this is a wonderful vintage of this wine, medium intensity and depth, lovely gewurz spice, nice steely minerality, has moderate weight and density without being unctuous. Not many dry, mineral versions out there like this Trimbach. In an early stage of its prime drinking window, which should go for years.

  Tasted blind. Honey, melon, oranges, citrus, nectarine, a hint of lychee, and floral characters on the nose. On the palate, there's more honey, bitter orange, nectarine flavors along with medium acidity. Long, very good finish. There's a lot going on, but it's all in balance. Quite impressive for a Gewürztraminer!

  A striking wine - light gold and not deep yellow ?Lovely and balanced bouquet of rose and spice with none of the blowsiness of cheaper examples . Like a ripe Comice pear with a touch of ginger- rather more residual sugar than expected and less complex than I expected married splendidly with a spicy rather than hot prawn curry .

  Precise nose of ripe williams pear and orchard blossom with subtle background minerality. The fruit-forward palate is defined by pear/ester flavours and shows appreciable residual sugar; I would call it medium-dry. Unfortunately the wine lacks the acidity needed to frame those flavours and cut through the RS. Having said that, the wine retains impressive freshness and energy for its age. Would pair well with curry.
