Community Tasting Note

Saturday, August 22, 2020 - Mature golden color with pear, oyster shell, florals, and brine on the nose. This has a cool juxtaposition of the breadth and waxiness coupled with great cut and focus that Trimbach's CFE and CSH seem to achieve better than nearly everyone else. Bone dry and chiseled on the palate, with more oyster shell, waxy lanolin notes, citrus pith, pear, and subtle florals. I also really like Adrian's pineapple descriptor, almost like dried pineapple. There is this fascinating a seemingly counterintuitive honeyed feel to it in spite of its being completely dry. It's mouthwateringly fresh and drinks like mineral water. A serious and singular expression of riesling that is fully mature and at this point certainly more about soil and acid than fruit, but drinking very well. Contemplative and outstanding. Not for everyone, but certainly for me
