96 points Wine Enthusiast Initial smoky notes of reduction make way for a pervasive, subtle but luminous lemon freshness on the nose of this wine. The palate shows exquisite concentration in lemon freshness. It's bone dry, vivid and fresh. *#2 Wine of 2020 Enthusiast 100, Editors' Choice* (AK) (5/2020) 95 points James Suckling Solid white with density and searing dryness and minerality that is very impressive with sliced apples, lemons and white peaches. Super energy. (7/2019) 93 points John Gilman The 2017 'Selection de Vieilles Vignes' from Maison Trimbach is another exceptional bottle of dry Riesling, from one of the grand masters of this varietal in the world of wine. The wine comes in at 13.5 percent octane and delivers a stunning aromatic constellation of tart orange, apple, a hint of fresh pineapple, petrol, gorgeous minerality, balsam bough and a topnote of white flowers. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and still youthful, with excellent depth behind its girdle of acidity, fine focus and cut, snappy acids and a long, nascently complex and beautifully balanced finish. The nose here is wide open and expressive, but the palate is a few years behind in its development and still demands a bit of cellaring. This is going to be excellent in due course, but a few more years of patience are required. 2025-2055. 93+ (9/2021)
