Trimbach Pinot Gris Alsace Réserve 2018

Crisp and bracing wine with a faint integration of citrus and melon notes, perfectly supported by a clean and zesty freshness that cuts through the richness of the fruit, leaving a delightful close of green apple and honey

Full bodied and full-bodied wine with a luxurious texture, it presents itself with a generous pour, allowing the aromas to unfold slowly. The nose reveals a detailed fragrance of peach and honey melon, with a light citrus note emerging as the glass is swirled. Upon tasting, the sensation is creamy and smooth, with a rich, full-bodied profile that is surprisingly dry, characteristic of the Trimbach style. The aftertaste is well-balanced, with a enjoyable dryness that lingers.

Delicate, golden pigment in the glass. The nose is featured by a refined integration of peach, pear, and a trace of smoke, with a understated sweetness of honey. The sensation is broad and rich, with a rewarding array of apricot, pear, and honey notes, accompanied by a dry finish. The acidity is bright and refreshing, but the minerality is surprisingly muted, suggesting that the wine may be a bit too young for its own good. Overall, the wine is a pleasant, but ultimately unremarkable, showing a light and easy-drinking experience, but not one that I would seek to repeat or consume in large quantities.
