Trimbach - Selection des Vielles Vignes Riesling 2022 (750ml)
James Suckling: 95 Points
Ripe Mirabelle plum, quince and peach aromas fill out this generous and juicy dry riesling that is so sensuous, but also incredibly clean and precise. Still only medium-bodied in spite of the hot and dry vintage. Terrific depth in the very long, crisp finish, which is exactly what we expect from old vines. A cuvee of wines from Hunawihr, Ribeauville and Bergheim, including several Grand Cru sites. Drink from release.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
From 60+-year-old vines in the Hunawihr grand cru Rosacker, the Muehlforst and the "Petit Geisberg" (Vorderer Hagenau) in Ribeauvillé, the 2022 Riesling Vieilles Vignes offers a fine, intense and seriously intense nose of perfectly ripe fruits intertwined with saline and refreshing limestone and spicy phenolic notes. Rich but elegant and refined on the palate, this is a full-bodied, generous and quite powerful but also delicately lush and round, always refined, stimulating and saline Riesling with some Muscat-like flavors on the finish. This has 14% stated alcohol with nine grams per liter of residual sugar that don't show up as sweet but as fully ripe and seductive fruit. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in April 2024.
