TRIMBACH
Gewurztraminer Cuvée des Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre 2005
- 92 points -
The overall elegance here belies the complexity found in the finely meshed layers of flavor and delicate acidity, with a pronounced smoke note winding through the lemon curd, brine, white peach, honeysuckle and lychee flavors. Just a touch of pine and candle wax shows also, lingering on the long finish.
