Opened about 30min prior to service. The 2017 Clos Ste. Hune pours a pale straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing wjth beguiling notes of the perfectly ripe Comice pear, a mix of stone and tropical fruits, lemon blossom, a touch of petrol and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish lasts forever. This is unbelievably balanced and a fantastic pairing with the toro crudo. This is just at the beginning of what’s sure to be a very long drinking window. Enjoy now through 2057. — 3 months ago
Like a good friend that is reliable and steady. Except this friend has aged a bit more than you remember from the last time you’ve seen them. Would like to taste a more recent vintage. — 3 months ago

The last of a case. A wonderful wine, though the age is not to everyone’s taste, no doubt. — 21 days ago
Outstanding AlsatianPinot Gris, right at peak, great fruit and acidity, long, lingering finish, just great!! A local west coast mail order outfit periodically offers this wine at around $20, I’ve purchased 2014 (all gone) and last time 2018 (this wine, one more of 6 bottles left)!! Trimbach makes such outstanding Alsatian wines, even at these more modest pricing levels!! — 3 months ago
Superb. Fresh and approachable, plenty of acid. Then the vanilla and orange flower is replaced by candied lemon peel and mango for a long finish — 4 months ago

Pale lemon color. Aromas of orchard fruit, wet slate and white flowers. Flavors of lemon, peach, pineapple, Asian pear, chalk/flint and leafy herbs. A nice note of earthy saline on the long and persistent finish. Vibrant acidity and quite bright. Medium bodied with a mouth coating and slightly creamy texture. Good concentration and intensity. Aged quite well. — 4 months ago

Scratching an occasional Riesling itch, with an outstanding Grand Cru from Willm — 2 years ago
Field blend of Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Beurot, Muscat and Pinot Noir from the Engelgarten, a vineyard with poor, gravelly soils located just outside the walls of Bergheim (about 10 miles north of Colmar, in the Haut Rhin). Pure, expressive nose with notes of citrus, rubber and minerals. Intense, dry, textured. Slightly ripe. Long, saline finish. — 5 years ago

This was great. Not bone-dry, lovely acidity, but also rich and pliant, charming and self-assured. Lemoncurd, tropical spices and fruits, apricot jam, stony minerals from front to back.
To drink now and during the next decade. — 25 days ago
