Riesling Grand Cru Mandelberg 2016 92+ VIN Apr18

[92+ pts] Spicy dried fruit and ripe yellow apple aromas and flavors…creamy in the middle, then turns lemony on the long, savory finish. Very elegant Riesling Mandelberg… The first vintage of this Trimbach wine in which the Mandelberg name appears on the label (previously this was known as Cuvée M). Trimbach’s vines are located on the steepest part of the grand cru… the marly-calcareous soils contribute a strong lemony acidity. Lovely wine, one of the best Mandelberg wines…. maybe the best. – I.D.
