My streak of mediocre (and not inexpensive) aged Trimbach continues. This is fine, not bad by any means, but just a little tired, deflated, getting on in years. The aromas/flavors are all correct; yellow apple, pear, a touch of tropical fruit, pronounced slate minerals, high toned white flowers. And yet, the nose is a bit muted, the acidity medium to medium-low. 1/3 of the bottle stoppered and saved in the fridge overnight- no improvement. If anything a touch flabbier than the night before. Disappointing for the tariff.

Following up on Decaturewinedude's note below, which was spot on last night. It was flat, tired, something not right. I kept the bottle (fridge, cork) and opened up next afternoon. Night and day. No idea what happened here but it is a totally different wine. Nose is flat out like opening a bag of gummy bears, the good kind. Rich, viscous, pure, bright, floral, mouth filling mango tropical fruit. Wow, a remarkable comeback. Looking down at CCT's notes, lots of similar thoughts as I sip this.

Have had great bottles of this wine. Not this time. Not tired, or oxd or anything, just not really wanting to play. Stay rather muted/angular and just didn't blossom.
