 Tasted by LorenzoIlMagnifico on 12/18/2021 & rated 87 points: Wonderful, delicate white wine. Distinctive Muskat aroma but bone dry. Would be an excellent aperitif wine. (467 views)
 Tasted by LorenzoIlMagnifico on 3/2/2021 & rated 88 points: Remarkable Muskat. Unlike most wines from this grape, it is BONE DRY. It is mild with modest acidity so it is good drinking now. Distinctly Muscat without being overpowering. It should be good either in the afternoon or as a table wine. (639 views)
 Tasted by Elycohn on 3/22/2018 & rated 90 points: Fruity and floral aromas that include lemon, orange blossom, and white flowers. Flavors of peach and sweet clementine. Nice structure and balance. A good pick for a house white. (1398 views)
 Tasted by Elycohn on 1/16/2018 & rated 88 points: Strong beautiful aromas dominated by orange blossom, basil, slight honey, and apple. The mouth has a nice round texture, just barely oily with nice acidity on the finish. Neither rich nor lean, Trimbach's Muscat finds a comfortable medium that would drink well for any situation where a Gruner or Chardonnay would also work. (1373 views)
 Tasted by Elycohn on 11/29/2017 & rated 88 points: Highly aromatic bouquet of orange blossom and a whif of lemony limey Sprite soda. Mouth is round but not rich with continuous intense flavors of clementine and almond. A pleasantly interesting dichotomy of strong aromas and flavors in an unsuspectingly lean package. (1359 views)
 Tasted by danstrings on 7/8/2016 & rated 86 points: Clean and exotic, great aperitif. A slight sharpness/chemical note, hmmmm, still lots to like (1480 views)
 Tasted by rwpalmer on 5/30/2015 & rated 86 points: Consistent with last note from a year ago, though I am even more struck but the chalky acidity--seemingly remarkably high for muscat, but it does keep the wine fresh. (1688 views)
 Tasted by rwpalmer on 4/14/2015 & rated 86 points: Delicate nose--more floral than grapey. Palate equally delicate. Could be more powerful and showy but fine as it is for use as an aperitif or with very light food. (1198 views)
 Tasted by yofog on 9/17/2014: A natural aperitif, very spicy and crisp, defined. Quite dry, almost sharp but I wouldn't say that exactly. (1419 views)
 Tasted by PT insurgent on 9/9/2014: WSET Diploma Semester 1 Block B; 9/8/2014-9/11/2014: Very light on the nose, some grape notes, quite generic.
Dru, good acidity, not much intensity of flavor. Generic and neutral. (2005 views)
 Tasted by tendring on 5/19/2014 & rated 89 points: Wine Education Service - Alsace (LSE): Silver, very pale.
Unmistakable Muscat bouquet, gentle and lovely.
Nice fruity, dry wine. (1327 views)
