Upon tasting a 1990 bottle from Rousseau this consignor had an epiphany and his passion for wine was ignited. He began collecting over 20 years ago, purchasing through auctions and on travels abroad. His bottles were stored in temperature and humidity-controlled wine cabinets prior to arriving at Iron Gate.
The score for 2002 F E Trimbach Riesling Clos Sainte Hune Alsace is 93 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2002 Riesling Clos Ste-Hune – at under 8,000 bottles the smallest lot ever (even 2003 approached 9,000) – displays chicken stock, quarry dust, musk, wood smoke, and lime on the nose, then deposits minerality as deep, saline, and mysterious as the ocean. It is still very firm in finish for all of its length and one will have to have patience here as well.
