Cuvée Frédéric Emile Alsace Riesling

Rubber hose (blew off over time). Tart lemon lime white peach blossom crushed stone and dried apricot and dried mango. Zesty acidity laced with stony minerality. It is alive in the glass constantly evolving.

2011 | Riesling

This Freddy’s ready. Deep straw gold color, nose has classic petrol, lemon, pear, apricot, quince bouquet, palate is bone dry, stony and racy

Poised and pretty. Great focus. Pretty

Gorgeous aromatics of that classical Trimbach CFE style…nose of petrol, Anjou pear, slate, limestone, and minerality. The palate borders on flabby, but part of me thinks it’s due to where it is in its evolution, because the longer it was open, the more dialed in it got. Normally 12yr old CFE is quite young, but most signs point toward this being a relatively accessible version. Certainly not zippy or racy, but the weight it carries is excellent. Rounded profile but not rich. Floral and fresh, and in no way sweet (as expected).

2001 andava forse bevuta prima ma a 19 anni ancora molto buono

Broad and snappy at the same time.

Tightly knit and focused. Petrol, yellow apple, citrus, grapefruit pith, stones. Bone dry with a super faint yeastiness on the long finish. Drinking great but in it for the long haul.

Ripe fruit of apples, slight lemon, pineapple, musky with the petrol and elevated acid...super fun to drink and talk about

Almost a faint buttered popcorn taste with a faint citrus finish.
