A sweet white dessert wine.
"92 out of 100...2003 #1 Trockenbeerenauslese, Kracher's barrel-fermented 2003 essence of Welschriesling, Chardonnay (20%) and Pinot Gris (10%), smells of sultanas, truffles, musk, butterscotch and honey. The thick, satiny palate impression is not the least bit heavy due to the wine's high acidity and low alcohol. The desiccated fruit is clear and pure, with alluring accents of brown spices and resin. As for the novel-length finish, it practically snaps to attention with vivid citricity allied to apple jelly and white raisin. Only trouble is, you can't read this novel yet, all you know is it has a thousand pages. (And it took a lot of fining to get this into the bottle.) How about we revisit in 15 years, suggests Kracher." - WA
"90 out of 100...Deep golden yellow. Aromas of apricot, raisin, tobacco and botrytis spice. Concentrated stone fruit and orange flavors are nicely embedded in a luxurious baroque texture. Finishes with a lingering honey flavor. This could have used a bit more acidity, but the wine's sweetness should integrate with further bottle aging. Drink now to 2015." - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
