Riesling Frédéric Emile 2017, Trimbach

The ageing that this has already undergone at Trimbach’s cellars is manifest in its bright – almost Chartreuse – golden yellow. It has wonderfully deep, enticing aromas of candied lemons, lime marmalade, quince, pineapple, chamomile and honey. Its fabulously satisfying, rich texture in the mouth is kept fresh by zesty acidity and enlivened by intriguing notes of beeswax, pine forest, pineapple and lemon. The wealth of fruit character creates an impression of sweetness, however it is in fact pretty much bone dry. Absolutely – and gloriously – ready to enjoy now, this could be cellared for many more years if desired.
