Cuvée Frédéric Emile Trimbach 1998 is a blend sourced from distinct Alsace Grand Cru sites, predominantly Geisberg and Osterberg. The soils here, characterised by clay and limestone over sandstone, contribute to a notable minerality and defined acidity. Known for its ageing potential, the wine evolves to reveal complex characteristics over time, with nuances emerging that reflect its terroir. The Trimbach family has a history of commitment to quality since 1626, making them a revered name in Alsace wine.
(13% alcohol; 7.1 g/l total acidity; 3.11 pH; 4.9 g/l residual sugar): Dark golden yellow. Opulent aromas of superripe peach and apricot complicated by licorice, sweet almond, quinine, gin and nail polish. Luscious and long, with flavors similar to the aromas and a delicate peppery finish. I told Pierre and Jean that if I hadn't known better, I would have sworn a few botrytized grapes had found their way into this blend. Imagine my surprise when Pierre candidly admitted that in this vintage 20% of the berries were hit by noble rot, an unusual occurrence for us, but there was no avoiding it; the winds coming from the Vallée and noteworthy humidity allowed for rampant noble rot development in our vineyards. A very impressive wine, but I'll admit it lacks the crystalline purity of the very best vintages of Frédéric Emile: I would also have also liked even more acidity. Still, it's a very sexy, still-youthful wine.
