Trimbach Alsace Pinot Gris Vendanges Tardives 2009
£64.21 (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / North Ireland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Harboring around 65 grams of residual sugar but still 14% alcohol, Trimbach’s 2009 Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive – from a preponderance of simply over-ripe rather than botrytized fruit – generously delivers brown-spiced, vanilla-tinged quince and apple jelly in the nose and on an initially luscious, oily palate, though a faintly warm and drying sizzle renders its bittersweet finish slightly awkward. I would want to revisit this in a few years to assess its longer-term potential, and although I am confident it will at the very least hold up for 15 years, it is a far-cry from the superb examples of its genre that have been more usual at this address.
