Citrus zest, fruit pit, huckleberry, and white pepper lend Trimbach’s 2009 Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile an aromatic piquancy and tactile bite that – allied to an oily texture – might pull a bit too much in a bitter direction were it not for a satisfying and far from vintage-typical abundance of exuberantly juicy lime, tangerine, and kiwi.
A high-toned aura of pit fruit distillate hovers over the entire performance. Crushed stone and alkaline mineral notes add depth to an invigoratingly and tenaciously lingering finish. This ought to perform admirably in the classic Frederic Emile role for at least 12-15 years. (Incidentally, it’s bone dry, at 13.5% alcohol.) Drink now-2026.
92 points David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate.
Light yellow colour, reserved for its age; the bouquet dried herbs, thyme and lavender, poached fruits, the palate soft and dry, intense and some richness, with a certain austerity. There's a depth and a grip here, with terrific length. Mineral, nervy; like sucking on a river stone. 16 JUN 2016 Drink 2018–2031
