Grand Cru Schlossberg Riesling 2016 90 YB W&S Aug20

YEAR’S BEST ALSATIAN WINES; The Trimbach family purchased four acres of this grand-cru site in 2012, the vines planted in granitic soils producing a dark and rooty riesling. What fruit is there is like nectarine and Asian pear just coming into ripeness, while a savory, herbal side of the wine brings to mind a thyme-roasted chicken.  – J.G.
