Probably the benchmark for riesling. the 2012 Trimbach Riesling Clos Sainte Hune cannot be underestaimated. A powerhouse of flavours, running from spicy preserved lemon to pear and peach. This is balanced by a mineral aci salt finish. There is so much to love about this wine.
The 2013 Riesling Clos Ste Hune shows a very clear and deep, dusty/smoky, mineral nose which impressively reflects the Muschelkalk terroir. Rich, precise and pure also on the nobly textured and highly elegant palate this expressive and full-bodied Riesling is penetrating mineral and piquant but also very juicy. The finish is extremely long and complex. Very promising and stunningly accessible already. Drink 2020-2040.

This is very dense and powerful. Full-bodied and tight. Gives away very little at first but then opens to a full palate with incredible finish and length. Fabulous. 1.67 hectares as always.
