2004 Riesling, Cuvée Frédéric Emile, F.E. Trimbach

The Trimbach family continues to render some of the world’s finest Riesling; to uphold the principles that wine of Alsace (unless Vendage Tardif) should not taste sweet and to release wines only when they believe those wines say “it’s time”.The Trimbachs clearly rolled with any punches nature administered in 2004 delivering Riesling of startling clarity and concentration that showcases its minerality and acidity.
