Description
Riesling 1989Clos Ste. Hune, VT, Trimbach
3bsl
Bottle (6)
"Imagine a mountain stream rushing over pebbles between banks of flowers and wild herbs. This intense, concentrated wine is fresh and clean, with wonderful aromas and outstanding flavors, still tightly wound even as it edges into maturity." (94 pts. Wine Spectator, Sept. 1995)
"The last time I drank the 1989 was a God-knows-when-o'clock at Ernie Loosen's post-VDP auction soiree in 2008, and it has hardly altered since. Limpid in hue after three decades, it is blessed with heavenly nose of honeysuckle, clementine and hints of wild honey, later joined by tinned apricots and hints of marzipan, all delivered with scintillating precision. The palate feels quite rich, but the acidity effortlessly counterbalances its precocity. The residual sugar (46gm/L) deceptively seems much less than that figure. There is so much energy and raciness in this Vendanges Tardives, an irresistible Riesling that begs you back for one sip after another. It this Hors Choix performs at this level at 30 years of age, then I envisage it still cruising at high altitude in another 30 years." (97 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Aug. 2020)
