Trimbach Riesling Frédéric Emile 2021

Geisberg and Osterberg Grand Crus distilled into something almost austere. Lemon zest and a faint whisper of passion fruit on the nose, but the palate is where this commands attention, compact, driven, bullet-straight. Chalky coolness and stony depth run the full length, with a concentration that feels coiled rather than open. The cool 2021 vintage suits this wine perfectly, sharpening every edge. Give it time; the profundity here is only just beginning to reveal itself.
