According to Jean Trimbach, the 2000 Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile has a higher level of dry extract (23 grams per liter) than any other Frederic Emile ever made. This wine reveals demure mineral aromas and a concentrated, tightly-wound character. Layers of minerals and gravel can be found intertwined with candied citrus fruits in its juicy, yet structured personality. It is intense, yet immensely youthful, and demands cellaring.
Apple, honey and mineral flavors are beginning to develop an antique, burnished furniture and forest floor mellowness. Big-boned and well-balanced, with a chalklike intensity and long mineral aftertaste.
Tobacco leaf aroma – most unusual! Good tension. Still a little chewy. Incredibly youthful for an 18-year-old wine! Some very slight petrol aroma but with great excitement and richness. Long.
