Trimbach Cuvée des Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre Alsace Gewürztraminer 2011

Ratings on Delectable

V

I really thought I’d love this wine but I can’t say I do. It’s got the characteristic lychees aroma mixed with ginger and chamomile. But that sort of chamomile bitterness is a bit overwhelming and coupled with a less than ideal amount of acidity, the wine as a whole feels cloying. This could be great if only it were sharper. (Update: Had this again with a lightly seasoned, grilled swordfish steak, and that made this wine a whole lot better) (Update 2: My original rating was 7.4 but the more I drink this, the more I like it)

Amazing example of Gewurtztraminer exhibiting lots of oak, and a bright, floral bouquet. The 2011 is truly special.
