Riesling Clos St Hune 1996 Trimbach

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

The world-renowned Riesling Clos Ste. Hune is produced from 40 year old vines in a 1.38 hectare parcel (3.4 acres) located within the Rosacker grand cru. Some of the finest Rieslings I have ever tasted have hailed from this tiny plot. Crisp, youthful aromas of lemons are found in the medium-bodied, dense, and highly-focused 1996 Riesling Clos Ste. Hune. On the palate it offers extraordinarily powerful layers of lime-drenched minerals, a vibrant satiny-texture, and huge richness. This unbelievably long wine is massively structured, concentrated, and backward.

A great Riesling, balancing intense, pure flavors of apple, quince, peach and apricot with a filigreed steel structure and a smoky, stony element from the site. Intense and ethereal at the same time, it melts in the mouth, leaving the essence of its flavors on the long finish.
