2009 年份的這款 Trimbachs Riesling 融合了鼠尾草、白胡椒和粉筆灰的味道，口感略帶刺激性，還帶有清新的酸橙味，余味爽脆提神。如果說(shuō)酒中甜潤(rùn)的味道必須以犧牲清新酸爽的口感和豐富的風(fēng)味為代價(jià)的話，那么在這款酒中你會(huì)驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)事實(shí)并非如此，更何況該酒的酒精含量高達(dá) 13%。該酒還需珍藏 4 到 6 年才能擁有最佳品質(zhì)，但是估計(jì)并沒(méi)有太多的人愿意等這么長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間。

Tart, bright lemon and gooseberry dominate a Trimbach 2008 Riesling whose salinity, chalkiness, and piquancy of juniper and huckleberry make for an impressively dense and gripping if slightly austere finish. This should be well worth following for 5-7 years. “The oenologists were saying in 2009 ‘Oh we have to get approval so that we can add acidity,’ but it was absolutely unnecessary, for us,” notes Pierre Trimbach, who indeed delivered a surprisingly animated collection, albeit one diminished in size by instances of declassification. The Trimbachs compare their 2008s with 1998, adding that there is something of 2001 to them, too. As a group, they are going to further the reputation of wines from this family for rewarding patience.Importer: Diageo Chateau and Estate Wines Company, New York, NY; tel. (212) 419-1400
