Score 87/100 · Drink 2003-2009, Pierre Rovani, Dec 2001
Trimbach's 1999 Pinot Gris Reserve Personnelle sports an extremely smoky nose. On the palate, hints of white peaches can be found intermingled with minerals and gravel. This is a delineated, light to medium-bodied wine for those seeking a Pinot Gris with an austere, almost Riesling-like character. Projected maturity: 2003-2009.

Ripe aromas of dried fruits and nuts. Sweeter in the mouth than the Pinot Gris Reserve, but also fresher and shapelier. Here the back end is slightly bitter-edged but downright refreshing. Finishes with good grip and sneaky length.
