TN: 1996 Trimbach FE

not sure when or where this was purchased but I opened it tonight. Golden yellow, a hint of oxidation quickly disappeared. Very honeyed bouquet, very quiet fruit and acidity, the wine really stretches out after a few sips, apricot and stone fruit, a little lime, some minerals, a lanolin feel, finishes clean and long. Not at the 01 375eme level, not as intense, but a classy quaff.

Glad your bottle showed well. That was the beginning of the bad period.

which ended when, with 00 or 01?

For me it’s largely 1996-2000, though I know other have said 2001 is problematic. I haven’t had significant issues with 2001. I hope that continues.
