2000 | Maison Trimbach | Riesling Clos Sainte Hune

Wonderfully pure, high-pitched nose melds quinine, pineapple, crushed stone, orange zest, violet and lavender; smells like a current release. Densely packed and very rich, with seamless flavors of crushed wet stone, lichee and grapefruit complicated by notes of baked bread and honey.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2000 Clos Ste.-Hune has intense mineral and herbal tea aromas that give way to a powerful, yet backward flavor profile, densely packed with liquid minerals, spices, smoke, quinine, and candied lime.

• James Suckling: Lovely aromas of ripe peach, quince and spring blossoms. Has ample flesh, yet it's firmly structured, with a long finish of citrus confit and mineral.
