Score 18/20 · Drink 2012-2025, Jancis Robinson MW, Mar 2018

Vintage a little like 2012: RS 5g/l. Magnum. Tobacco leaf aroma – most unusual! Good tension. Still a little chewy. Incredibly youthful for an 18-year-old wine! Some very slight petrol aroma but with great excitement and richness. Long. (JR)

Deepish gold. Old and German? – losing fruit. Losing freshness. Could be a very dry Trimbach? Lack of fresh fruit in the middle. Very slightly chewy on the finish. (JR)

According to Jean Trimbach, the 2000 Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile has a higher level of dry extract (23 grams per liter) than any other Frederic Emile ever made. This wine reveals demure mineral aromas and a concentrated, tightly-wound character. Layers of minerals and gravel can be found intertwined with candied citrus fruits in its juicy, yet structured personality. It is intense, yet immensely youthful, and demands cellaring. Projected maturity: 2005-2015. Importer: Esprit Du Vin French Wine Merchants & Select European Estates, 48 Harbor Park Drive, Port Washington, NY 11050; www.edvwines.com
