I took this out at 48 degrees. It had Riesling characteristics but reminded me of Chardonnay. As it warmed up the flavor improved and the Chardonnay resemblance faded from mind. Has apple like characteristics, Mildly and pleasntly balanced between sweet and acidic. I would have to say this wine is best at 55 degrees and higher.

85 points

I have been in the mood for Reds lately and I already find Whites a little more difficult to describe. I found this wine to be difficult to describe. I have had Riesling from U.S.A, Australia and now France. The US version shows the most sugar, the oz version shows the most acid and the French is kind of a median between the two.

It is a solid score, not really stunning but enjoyable.

I agree - it's a good, but not great, wine.

I preferred the 2002 Trimbach Gewurztraminer over the Reisling.
