Trimbach and Bain

Drinking at home.

2022 Trimbach Riesling Vieilles Vignes - FUCK! This was just so ripe on the palate! What happened to the acidity? Where is it? Lots of petrol, polyurethane, and truffle on the nose, but even the nose was much too ripe and sweet. There was a touch of vanilla, along with lemon confit, marmalade, and lanolin. OK, so there was some acidity on the finish, but not nearly enough. Not what I wanted from this wine at all.

2018 Alexandre Bain La Levée - the nose was freakishly ripe, with lots of apricot, ripe peach, and a bit of acetone. Very ripe on the palate, but at least this had the biting acidity along with some grippy tannins.
