SILVER MEDAL, International Wine Challenge 2012

"Beguiling and sumptuous, this is a masterclass in dry Alsace Riesling. At first like opening a jar of lemon curd, the aromas develop into beautiful honey and ripe yellow plums. Fresh, with a lovely streak of minerality throughout, and a long, long, slightly pineapple-like tropical finish. This will easily keep going for at least another 6 to 8 years." 93/100
The Wine Gang, March 2013

"The Trimbach 2006 Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile displays almost cinnamon-like as well as gingery sweet spicy pungency, a legacy of advanced ripeness and a touch of botrytis. Ripe strawberry, blood orange, and pink grapefruit add to the rather decadent allure here, following on an opulent palate, whose subtly oiliness of texture and honeyed cast give further testimony to noble rot. Yet for all of its far-gone, exotic ripeness, there is persistent refreshment here and a sense of lift rather than weight. A strikingly long, succulent finish is touched with quinine and citrus rind bitterness."
