This is still drinking very well. Softened slightly. I note the other relatively negative comments, but I still enjoyed this wine and believe that it has another 2-3 years of drinking.

Very mediocre. There’s not enough of anything to make it memorable. I opened an older one earlier tonight - past its prime. This one never had a prime. May work as a white wine spritzer? Will try that shortly.

Have to look up what "Reserve" means in Alsace. ( It turns out, from what I can find, that "Reserve" in Alsace simply means they choose better grapes "!! Nothing more? Obviously a marketing thing and, unless it gets to a Reserve Reserve ( no, there isn't such a thing), be aware for what you're paying.
Muted nose is pale straw Lemon pear flint mild peach
Dry-off dry Light medium body High alcohol Medium acid No tannin Viscous, nice legs & tongue/palate envelopement.Fat? Short, unfortunate finish 20-30 seconds
Good wine, but this isn't for cellaring, though I can understand why one would think it could be saved for a while.
Trimbach had been making wine, the label says, for over 4 CENTURIES! On this occasion, with this bottle, it misses the mark, in my opinion. Maybe it's aged too quickly? Who knows.. But, I've had many Trimbach wines and they usually exhibit their know-how better than this sample.
On to the next.
Pinot Gris 100% 13.4% abv

Medium gold. This has improved since tasted in 2020. Peach, grapefruit aromas. Medium bodied, ripe tropical fruits palate. 13.5% abv. Interesting to see how this evolves over the next 2/3 years.

It's just ok.
