2019 Trimbach Mandelberg Riesling Grand Cru Alsace

(92 Points) The 2019 Grand Cru Mandelberg Riesling opens coolish and slightly smoky on the deep and complex nose, although this is a really warm site protected from winds and, thus, one of the earliest vineyards to be harvested at Trimbach every year. Elegant and fruity on the palate, and with noticeable sweetness of 6.5 grams of unfermented sugar, this is an intense yet also very opulent, baroque-styled Riesling with harmony yet possibly a lack of tension for Riesling aficionados. 14.1% stated alcohol.
