Flight 1 (3 Notes)

  • 2001 Trimbach Pinot Gris Réserve Personnelle

    France, Alsace

    Light yellow. Slightly musty pear fruit, although the bottle proved not to be tainted over time. Almost dry, slightly viscous, bitter finish. Somehow this came across as harsh and imbalanced. Not great. I liked the 2000 much more.

  • 2001 Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Brand

    France, Alsace, Alsace Grand Cru

    I see that I tasted this almost exactly a year ago with similar impressions. Perhaps more mature Riesling fusel aromas than then. Grapefruit rind fruit almost like a Sancerre but typical Zind Humbrecht viscosity. Barely off dry, terrific minerality. Extremely interesting and drinking very well now.

  • 2000 Les Cailloux (Lucien et André Brunel) Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    Light to medium red. Tangy red fruit reminiscent of Chambolle with some secondary herb fragrance. Light, resolved, entirely enjoyable.

Closing

All of these wines worked well with the subtle, savory spicing at this wonderful restaurant.
