Trimbach’s Riesling Clos Ste. Hune is one of my absolute favorite wines. The 1999 is an intriguing Riesling as it offers a compelling mix of dried fruits, sage, mint, tobacco, cedar and crushed flowers, with just enough acidity to keep things in balance. Fully mature or close to it, the 1999 is not going to improve, and it is frankly not an epic Clos Ste. Hune, and yet there is so much to admire in its complexity and overall character. I enjoyed it quite a bit. - VM

Had a muskier nose, shier, with more rainwater and lighter citrus and mineral aromas. There was nice breed here, but the wine seemed more feminine and elegant. The palate had lots of citrus and earth, but not the style or acidity of the 2000, which made it seem clumsier. - JK
