Trimbach Riesling Reserve 2017

93 pts James Suckling

White stones, lemon curd and fresh almonds are all brought into focus. Only minimally off-dry and medium-bodied and steely. Medium-long and quite zesty on the finish. Drink now.

93 pts Wine Spectator

A lovely nose of petrol and white pepper leads to flavors of apricot, star anise, lemon peel and herb in this elegant, light-bodied white, defined by finely cut, steely acidity. Offers a long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2030. 4,000 cases made, 1,200 cases imported.

92 pts Vinous

Luminous straw-green. Mint and melon on the deep, refined nose. Fresh and lively in the mouth, hints of celery and chamomile complicating ripe pomaceous orchard fruit flavors. The acidity is well integrated, and the long finish is focused and energetic. There’s a great deal more depth here than in Trimbach’s 2017 entry-level Riesling. This is an outstanding Alsace Riesling that is the equivalent of many Riesling Grand Cru wines made by other producers.
