Golden colour with viscosity. The palate is bone dry with autumn fruits and little honeyed notes. Fruit and flavours are fading but still enormously enjoyable.

My streak of mediocre (and not inexpensive) aged Trimbach continues. This is fine, not bad by any means, but just a little tired, deflated, getting on in years. The aromas/flavors are all correct; yellow apple, pear, a touch of tropical fruit, pronounced slate minerals, high toned white flowers. And yet, the nose is a bit muted, the acidity medium to medium-low. 1/3 of the bottle stoppered and saved in the fridge overnight- no improvement. If anything a touch flabbier than the night before. Disappointing for the tariff.

Following up on Decaturewinedude's note below, which was spot on last night. It was flat, tired, something not right. I kept the bottle (fridge, cork) and opened up next afternoon. Night and day. No idea what happened here but it is a totally different wine. Nose is flat out like opening a bag of gummy bears, the good kind. Rich, viscous, pure, bright, floral, mouth filling mango tropical fruit. Wow, a remarkable comeback. Looking down at CCT's notes, lots of similar thoughts as I sip this.
