It was all petrol, no fruit. Never had a wine like this.

For what it's worth, the '03 is about $50 up here. Cheers! It takes guts to label a $35 wine as a great bargain, but having tasted a number of Trimbach’s wines I have no doubt that you are spot on.

Seeing as you both liked it, I suppose its worth seeking out. Love how you and Alder at Vinography tried the same wine (but different vintages).

Funny, I thought it odd that the wine was MORE expensive in the UK than here but I just checked and the 02 here is actually around $50. But then the 03, which is also available, falls back to the $30s. Not sure why. If anything, I preferred the 01. Chris, Glad you are a fan too! I'll keep an eye out for the 1990 CSH and VT but probably will have to settle for a more recent vintage of either/both. Hi Wink and welcome,

I usually only drink German and the occasional Austrian Riesling but Trimbach is in a league all its own in Alsace. It really is the only Alsatian Riesling producer I consistently love. Cheers! -Chris P.S. If you ever see the 1990 CSH or VT make sure to try em, two of the best Rieslings I have had!

I've always loved this wine and enjoyed the 2002 - though not inexpensive, far from it ... I think it is a superb wine, and sometimes in France one can find it at a reasonable price on restaurant lists, occasionally for older vintages.
