2006 Cave de Ribeauville Riesling Alsace Clos Ste Hune
OVER OAKED
One of the more respected Riesling makers in Alsace, but I was truly less impressed with this vintage. Perhaps not a great vintage, I detected an overwhelming amount of fine oaks, but Trimbach doesn’t use oak to age their wines! So where’s this oak profile coming from? Perhaps stems and vines? I can barely taste some pineapples and dried apricots. Saving grace was that, when the wine was chilled, it gave a very fresh pineapple taste. When the wine warmed up, it tasted more of a dried pineapple.
