As readers will recall, Pierre Trimbach considers 2005 to have produced a more classic set of wines than 2004. Yes, it rained during the first week of October following a great September, and rot developed quickly, but the family had picked all of its pinot gris and some of its best gewurztraminer by then. Some riesling was already in, added Trimbach, but not from the estate's best holdings. Trimbach describes the 2005s as austere, and he is sure that they will shut down in bottle. He predicted that they would take three to five years to reopen, "like the 2001s." (Diageo Chateau Estate Wines, New York, NY) Also recommended: 2005 Riesling (86), 2005 Gewurztraminer (85). Other wines tasted: 2005 Pinot Blanc, 2005 Muscat.
