| Kracher, Nummer 4 Welschriesling Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvel |
 | Review by: Pierre Rovani

The 1998 Welschriesling Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvelle Vague Number 4's color reveals hints of gold. This medium to full-bodied wine offers candied white raisin and caramel aromas. It is fat, thick, and dense on the palate. Loads of jellied fruits, spices, botrytis flavors, and overripe apricots conquer the taster's palate (my notes say "Wow! Rolling thunder!") and refuse to relinquish their grip for what seems like minutes. Remarkably, given this wine's intensity and thickness, it appears fresh, well-balanced, and precise. Drink it over the next 25+ years.

A wonderful mélange of flavors. Botrytis adds a mushroom note to the apricot and orange nuances. Intense, concentrated and complex, it still has a raw edge that needs time to smooth out. Takes on a deep, earthy accent on the finish. Best from 2002 through 2010.

| Kracher, Nummer 5 Welschriesling Trockenbeerenauslese Zwisch |
 | Review by: Bruce Sanderson

Rating: 93 points
Drink now - 2015
This concentrated sweet white begins with a thick texture, and its sweetness covers the almost racy acidity today. Give it time for the structure to integrate and the intense honey, candied citrus, apricot and spice flavors to unwind. Best from 2006 through 2015. 150 cases made.

| Kracher, Nummer 2 Traminer Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvelle Vag |

The tangy apple-scented 1999 #2 Traminer Nouvelle Vague Trockenbeerenauslese is a viscous, well-focused wine. A myriad of spices can be found intermingled with sour berries, apricots, and peaches in this medium to full-bodied, rich offering. It is concentrated, intense, and boisterous. Drink it over the next 20-25 years.

Concentrated intensity and a good dose of botrytis. Dense with orange, spice and smoke flavors, brilliantly displayed on a vivid structure, lending a lightness that belies its sweetness. Drink now through 2012. 1,100 cases made.

Pungent, with grape, floral and spice notes, sweet but balanced and clean on the finish. There's a honeyed quality and good length on the finish. Try with Muenster cheese. Drink now through 2010. 105 cases made.
