Tasting Notes

Trimbach's 2007 Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile - the driest rendition ever of this cuvee, at well under a gram of residual sugar, yet with nearly eight grams acidity - can definitely use the time it will receive in bottle before being released in late 2011 or early 2012! If this year's reserve Riesling flirted with austerity, the Frederic Emile risks severity. That said, its arrow-like penetration and sharpness; its adamant stoniness; and its citrus zest and cherry pit bitterness, are allied to formidable density; bracing salinity; deep, marrow-like meatiness; a subtle suggestion of textural creaminess; and an overall impression of exhilarating, vibrant refreshment. This will be for those with patience and/or for acid freaks (of which I count myself one) and ought to remain fresh for 15 or more years.

Very deep and complex on the nose. Extremely firm and dense with lots of extract. Strong citrus note. Freshness and vitality. Positively hums, though you wouldn't give this to a neophyte. Long and just murmuring at the moment.
