Trimbach Vendanges Tardives Alsace 2007 750ml

Trimbach's Vendanges Tardives represents late-harvest Riesling at its most refined, where noble rot and patient winemaking create wines of extraordinary complexity. This 2007, now perfectly mature, showcases the magic that time brings to great sweet wine.

The wine has evolved magnificently - initial tropical fruit notes have developed into layers of honey, candied citrus, and exotic spices. The botrytis influence adds complexity without overwhelming the Riesling character. As it continues to open, notes of petroleum, ginger, and dried apricot emerge. On the palate, the sweetness is perfectly balanced by Trimbach's signature acidity; the texture is unctuous yet never cloying, with flavors shifting constantly between fruit, honey, and mineral notes. The finish extends endlessly.

This 2007 Vendanges Tardives has reached that magical point where sweet wine transcends simple dessert accompaniment to become a complete experience. The combination of exceptional fruit, masterful winemaking, and perfect storage has created liquid gold. Whether paired with foie gras or savored alone, this bottle offers one of wine's most hedonistic experiences.
