5/24/2024 - AudunG wrote: 92 points

Same notes as a year ago:
Aromas of sweet yellow fruits like apricot marmelade, apples and lime, in addition to some smoke and minerals. Soft and full bodied in the mouth with sweet fruit and great concentration.

5/15/2024 - Araldinho Likes this wine: 92 points

Pale yellow.
Aromas of grapefruit, lemon zest, peach, apple blossom and a hint of petrol.
Slightly viscous mouthfeel.
Intense lemony acids and beautiful gingery bitterness.
Palate of ginger, green apple, apricot pit, white flowers and candied lemon.
A structure-driven, complex and bright Riesling with ripe fruit, grippy yet wonderful acidity, perfect balance and a long promising finish. Drink within 6-8 years. Tasted 2024
Tasted alongside Dönnhoff, Felsenberg, GG, 2022 and the present wine displays riper fruit, complexity and a sonorous acidity.

WSET3 Course Notes; 4/28/2024-6/9/2024 (WineHouse, Los Angeles): A: Medium lemon.
N: Medium+ intensity. Geranium, grapefruit or orange peel. I also get a little bit of darker fruit like blackcurrant, but I'm sure that wouldn't get me points in an exam :( Slight biscuit from the lees contact. Nutmeg and honey. Developing wine.
P: Dry with high acidity, medium alcohol and body. Medium+ flavour intensity. Lemon and tangy apple. Flintiness. Petrol comes through on the palate. Medium+ finish.
AQ: Very Good. Guessed Pfalz blind but I really should've thought better.
9/18
Can drink now but has potential for ageing.

Drank at Amsterdam restaurant, dry but fruity with a touch of sweetness with a dry finish, seafood dinner, good complexity but maybe better with dessert or as an aperitif, 13%abv, maybe drink again, interesting comparison with German Riesling trocken.

2017 Albert Boxler Pinot Gris Brand

4/30/2024 - RichD2 Likes this wine: 93 points

Yellow color. Aromas of apricot, mango, peach, spice. This is a very rich full-bodied wine with some residual sugar making it off-dry more than sweet. Long intense finish. Very enjoyable.

4/28/2024 - La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 93 points

Dinner at Spago Beverly Hills (Beverly Hills, CA): Medium golden in color, this foudre-vinified Pinot Gris offers a seductive nose of lime zest, Anjou pears, crushed rocks, honeysuckle and nutmeg. Medium-bodied, bone dry, racy, seamlessly alcoholic (14%) and with only a hint of wood, it delivers flavors congruent with the aromas. Dense in the middle, it concludes with a lengthy, saline-infused finish. Pairing beautifully with Alaskan halibut, this is a food-friendly white that should continue to provide pleasure throughout the remainder of this decade. Drink now-2030.

2019 Trimbach Riesling Alsace Grand Cru Brand

An Oldie but a Goodie-Tasting at Maison Trimbach (Ribeauvillé, France): Slightly deeper yellow than the 2020 Schlossberg. Very aromatic with floral and soil accents. Lighter, leaner feel than the Schlossberg. Just off dry. Flavors of black tea, citrus, and a rush of finishing acidity and stone. Restrained but packed with energy. Wow! I need to get some of this but pray that I’m still alive to enjoy it at its peak. This was apparently the first vintage of Brand produced by Trimbach, and it is an understatement to say that they nailed it. Along with the 2018 Clos Ste. Hune, one of the stars of the tasting.

PnP. This has gained in complexity since bottle consumed in December 2022. Color has deepened to a medium gold, and acidity has firmed up. Medium plus finish with mineral notes. Great texture and mouthfeel. This will continue to improve in bottle.

1988 and 1989 Alsatian Wine Tasting (Hi-Time Wine Cellars, Costa Mesa, Ca.): Great, clean, simple nose, nice, light fruit tasted, good, medium body, trifle austere on the finish, good sugar, very beautiful aftertaste.

deep yellow colour, lemony, almost bergamot character on the nose, together with mineral / slate, palate quite rich, powerful and deep with marked cleansing acidity on the finish, long and persistent, as noted before an idiosyncratic characterful wine, from the colour and depth of flavour I wonder if it was vendage tardive but still with high acidity, would be consistent with the 14% abv

Poured an alarming amber color. Seems like bad storage here, so there's no way I can rate this. Thankfully smelled fine, with aromas of dried apricots, blood orange and dried white raisins. Medium + intensity of aromas. The palate feels younger, keeping the fruit but reverting the condition to merely "over ripe" and adding flavors of fenugreek, powdered mustard, salt caramel, malt and bitter herbs. It keeps the blood orange from the nose, and shows a pronounced bitterness overall that surprises for Riesling. Medium + intensity of flavors.

Medium body with some medium acid sticking around. Nothing special or long about the finish, though. The shocking 15% alcohol is well hidden. This bottle was clearly not stored perfectly; but still, it had pleasantries to offer.

Double Blind tasting
Medium gold color
Medium aromas of honey with candied pineapple and nut blossom with minimal oxidative notes - obvious candied ginger/ botrytis notes
Medium plus bodied with notable RS - mild to moderate
Palate of honey and candied orange peel
Medium acidity with medium plus alcohol and moderate phenolic bitterness and end of the palate - as acidity is a bit low for the amount of sweetness here, this bitterness really keeps this wine from being cloying
Fairly long finish
I called this Alsatian PG based on botrytis notes and relative decreased acidity and aroma as well as phenolic notes - I called 2016 and this really does have plenty life left - drink now or hold 5-10 yrs

2/19/2024 - andrewfowler Likes this wine: 95 points

The baseline hits so many wonderful classic Riesling notes – jasmine, chrysanthemum, white peach, petrol, and elderflower, although by now the sharper and more acidic edges have rounded off. More honey and beeswax character is coming in, alongside Golden Grahams (nothing gives me more joy than comparing fine wines to children's cereal) and a slight medicinal finish. Both my first experience with Alsatian Riesling on this level and also Riesling with this much age on it, absolutely delightful.

2/18/2024 - S.Wayne Likes this wine: 90 points

Medium gold. Some bubbles on the glass
Aromatics medium +. Honey, early bruised pear/golden apples and florals. Later candied ginger consistent with botrytis. No new oak.
Palate has a medium + body. Moderate residual sugar. Acid likely medium, but challenging to gauge given RS. Late phenolics on the teeth. Alcohol medium +. Honey and apricot skins
Finish has a long length. Balanced
Dry glass notes of honey and ginger
Overall, nose is quite nice, but palate is one dimensional with good structure.
Drink now as acid borderline for future aging

there has been some bottle variation and this was a good bottle, light gold yellow colour, complex, mineral and deep fruit nose, lots of nuances, palate powerful, rich, characterful, smooth, good integrated acidity, long, quite idiosyncratic, not perhaps to all tastes but has real character and interest, more depth and power than elegance or finesse, vendage tardive in style, kept clean at the finish by the distinct acidity

Good length. Peach, apricot, honey. You notice the warm vintage, as the acidity has already retired from this wine. Also the fruit is starting to dissolve. Still quite nice to drink, but I wish I had opened the bottle earlier, while I usually like my wines with bottle age. Drink up!!!
