  Past peak. More exotic spice than fruit(tropical). Honey and beeswax. Low acid but still enough.Long spicy aftertaste a bit like sherry. You should not cellar it anymore in my opinion.Rich and complex. Trimbach Pinot Gris is Defiantly the best Pinot Gris available in my opinion.

  13,5% alcohol.
  
  Medium-deep and quite concentrated lemon-yellow color. Sweet and rich but also somewhat restrained nose with complex, slightly developed aromas of ripe pear, some apricot, a little bit of honey and beeswax, light notes of exotic spices, a hint of wool and a touch of cloudberry jam. Although not super-expressive, the nose feels layered and alive, every sniff being slightly different from the previous one. The wine is full-bodied, lively and quite ripe on the palate with slightly developed flavors of cantaloupe, some sweet golden apples, a little bit of mirabelle plum, light notes of honeycomb, a crunchy hint of fresh white peach and a touch of spicy minerality. The overall feel is very balanced with the moderately high acidity. The finish is juicy, rich and complex with vibrant flavors of white peach, some mirabelle plums, a little bit of beeswax, light stony mineral tones, a hint of ripe golden apple and a touch of pineapple.
  
  A wonderfully complex, harmonious and remarkably balanced Alsatian Pinot Gris. I had this wine for a decade or so in my cellar and I was worrying if the wine was starting to go over the peak, but it seems not since the wine is still remarkably youthful for its age, showing surprisingly little evolution. However, compared to my previous experiences with Trimbach's PG Réserve Personnelle, this vintage came across as slightly less lush and impressive and instead more restrained. Normally their Réserve Personnelle feels even bigger and more concentrated version of their Pinot Gris Réserve, but this 2004 PG Réserve Personnelle felt maybe even slightly lighter than a typical vintage of PG Réserve. Go figure. Nevertheless, this was a lovely effort all the same and despite its age the wine is still showing good potential for future development. Great value at 23,89€.

  This wine is simply delightful. Medium light tropical fruits countered by a saline minerality and a rich oily texture. A lithesome but complex wine. Superb with light foods.

  Very good typical Trimbach Pinot Gris. At its best right now. Very fruity oily, and still with some typically low Pinot acidy. Lots of different fruit in nose and taste. Long finish.
  
  The wine looks yellow colored. The legs are fast. It smells like raisin, pear, peach, plum, honeydew, mango, pineapple, passion fruit, mineral, mushroom, dill, honeysuckle and honey. The body is medium/full. The wine has oily texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.
