2004 Trimbach Gewurztraminer Cuvée des Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre - France, Alsace (8/6/2018)
Medium hay in color, cork was saturated half way up, but otherwise in good shape; this has a light Gewurz nose, but good medium intensity on the palate, mild gewurz spice, excellent acidity for a gewurz, some nice steely minerality through the medium finish. Very nice, not quite the depth and fireworks of the 2001 version, still quite youthful, well stored bottles should easily go another decade. (91 pts.)
