Trimbach Cuvee Frederick Emile 2000

February 16, 2012

Trimbach Cuvée Frédéric Emile Riesling 2000 (Alsace, France)

Served from magnum at the tail end of one of the recent Riesling dinners at Fix St James.

Personally I’ve never had a stunning bottle of this wine from any vintage. Still waiting based on this bottle. The question with this particular vintage remains to be whether it is just in a hole or is genuinely going backwards (see Jancis’ note for example.)

Sour and very dry. Plenty of dry extract and latent power but with a rather foursquare and drying palate of dried citrus and grapefruit. Noticeable alcohol and power but just a fraction lacking in generosity with a hardness to the back end. Where is it going to go from here? 16.5/88

(I use inklpay in lieu of a paywall. A small tip goes a long way to finally paying for hosting!)

  • About me – Andrew Graham


    At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, doing a degree that I didn't really like, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.

    Almost twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.

    While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
