  An Oldie but a Goodie-Tasting at Maison Trimbach (Ribeauvillé, France): Pale. Subtle petrol. Medium weight but so delicate compared to the 2 Grand Crus we tasted. Expansive and already complex with a seemingly impossible combination of an attack which gives the impression of sweet peach fruit and a long, dry mid-palate and finish with powerful stoniness. Great length and an aftertaste that clings for over 2 minutes. This would be a great wine from any year but is even more remarkable coming from such a warm year. In an outstanding range today, nothing rivaled its elegance and breed. This showing suggests that it might eclipse any other warm year Clos Ste. Hune in memory except for the unworldly 1990, which for me remains the all time great exemplar of this wine.
