The nose is fresh but shows complete restraint. The palate gently draws pure Comice pear fruit, its ripeness tempered with ample clean freshness. A streamlined precise slenderness characterizes this bone-dry, restrained and therefore utterly elegant Pinot Gris. It's a class act to drink...

A lifted, ethereal note of bitter almond suggests the beginnings of evolution. The palate, on the other hand, still seems closed but displays a streamlined concentrated core of flawless dryness and precise bundled freshness. This is taut, precise and sure to develop. The finish is lasting, refreshing and clean.

This is firm, tight and upright in the Trimbach house style, subtle and precise, though the 2012 has some extra flesh and weight, and a lightly tannic texture that will require a few more years in bottle to fully resolve. This should be a beauty in 2-3 years, or hold another decade or more. It would be hard to imagine a more consistent producer from anywhere in the world. Tasted February 2016. Value Rating: ***

Immediately reminds of 2008 and will go down a similar, slowly turning and evolving path. So purposed and direct though there is a slight elevation in residual sugar as compared to the four four beat four years ago. Pinot Gris of pears and operas, with some spice on the finish. This will aria into something lovely at the age of seven and beyond. Drink 2018-2022. Tasted February 2016.

Finely knit and creamy, this medium-bodied Pinot Gris is dry and focused, with a subtle mesh of green plum, dried apricot, star anise and clover honey notes. An elegant version that should open up nicely. Lasting, minerally finish.

This is tight and firm with dried fruits, spices and almond paste. Some smoke too. Full-bodied, round and delicious. Savory, umami finish.

Aromas of aniseed and yellow peach follow through to a full body, round texture and a fruity finish. Lightly sweet. Pretty balance. Delicious finish. Crowd pleaser. Drink or hold.
