Riesling is, in our estimation, the royalty of aromatic white wine grapes. Trimbach produce their basic Alsace Riesling in a very French, read totally, almost austerely dry style; fleeting aromas suggestive of mineral, apricot flower, white peach, quince and lemon; vibrant and crisp, brisk even, on the tongue; strappingly textured; hyper-dry with clean, palate-stimulating acidity and delicate flavors a refreshing reprise of that first alluring whiff.

( ... the various components of this wine were harvested from mid-September until mid-October) Pale medium yellow. Very minerally aromas of pineapple and crushed stone. Powerful, pure wine with flavors of raw pineapple, crushed and liquid stone and menthol. This has an almost painful intensity, as well as a light touch that's a pleasant surprise for the vintage. Finishes very long and powerful, with a youthfully aggressive character and a hint of almond. Offers an intriguing sweetness but not quite the energy of the 2004 example. Trimbach lightly acidified this wine to get a better pH. Rated 90. - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar Issue 129 November/December 2006
