Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile 2004 Trimbach

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (95)

The 2004 Riesling Frederic Emile needs time to open up; it is very intense and concentrated with spicy minerals, great purity and lemon flavors. Intense, round and mineral on the palate, this is a very fresh and mineral dry Riesling with structure and lots of salt, great purity, and with more finesse and purity than the corresponding Clos Ste Hune. The finish is long, fresh and very salty and reveals a lot of grip. Great wine.

Winespectator (92)

Peat smoke and forest floor notes accent the dried apricot, candied orange peel, sea salt and star fruit flavors, followed by a modest finish. This well-integrated, elegant wine is just beginning to show some age, but the firm acidity suggests many more years to come.

Wonderful! Instant charm and complexity. Mature, honey, orange peel, cheese, spice – but a very slight oxidative note on the finish, so not for keeping much further? (RH)
