93 points James Suckling “A complex and maturing Gewurztraminer with a lot of subtle candied fruit and a hint of spices. This almost-dry wine has fascinating textural complexity and clean mineral acidity, allowing the wine to carry a tiny hint of bitterness at the long dry finish.” (5/2018)
93 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate Selected and harvested at the peak of the grapes’s ripeness the 2012 Gewurztraminer Cuvée des Seigneurs Ribeaupierre is very clear and intensely aromatic on the fresh and nobly perfumed nose where lime and orange oil flavors are displayed. Full, rich and intensely fruity but also piquant and very mineral this fresh and vital Gewurz is very long and stimulating due to its lovely acidity. This is a remarkably delicate Cuvée with a great aging potential and orange flavors in the finish.
93 points Vinous “Apple, poached pear, lemongrass, spices and vanilla bean on the enticing nose. Rich and ripe in the mouth, but with lively acidity giving shape and lift to the deep flavors of spicy stone fruit. The long finish throws off notes of peppery spices and vanilla. This is much less forward and open than the entry-level Gewürztraminer, which according to Jean Trimbach is a direct result of the much older vines and better vineyard sites that go into this bottling. I think this is the most underrated wine made by Trimbach: it’s stellar in both 2012 and 2013. (4/2015)”
93 points Wine & Spirits “This wine comes from a sector of the Osterberg grand cru, where the vines average 40 years of age, planted on limestone over sandstone. It’s an ornate, traditional style of Alsace wine, with scents of ginger and toast, orange and lavender. Its gentle texture is dynamic, managing to feel relaxed while a current of tension drives the flavors underneath. Those flavors range from fresh thyme to dried cherry skins, ready to elevate boudin blanc or roast veal, and would be fascinating with traditional Alsace fare, like a savory onion tart.” (4/2018)

The third release of three batches from Booker’s Bourbon 2023 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2023-03 ‘Might Fine Batch.’ These mini-releases have become extremely popular, and for good reason. “The vanilla and brown sugar sweet notes come through very well from the white oak barrels this bourbon aged in for over seven years. The taste is great and full bodied; when I added a splash of water, it opened up some great flavors, with a finish that gives a lovely “Kentucky Hug. My Dad would say that this is a Mighty Fine batch of Booker’s.” -Fred Noe

“There are 6,500 cases of the superb 2006 Dominus (91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot). Its dark plum/purple color is accompanied by aromas and flavors of truffles, forest floor, black cherries, black currants, and Asian spices. One of the finest wines of the vintage, it is complete, full-bodied, and seamlessly built with beautiful ripe tannins, low acidity, and a luscious, layered mouthfeel. The aromatics are even more evolved and complex than the 2005’s. The 2006 should drink well for 20-25 years. These are the two strongest back to back vintages for Dominus since 1990-1991 and 2001-2002.” -Robert Parker, Jr.
This is my Burgundy discovery of the year. The 2022 Bourgogne Rouge features a perfumed and very pretty nose that reflects notes of ripe berries, violets, and a touch of earth. The fruit is so detailed and pure, a hallmark of this special vintage, with excellent energy that finishes a mile long.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
