June 11, 2021 - Wonderful flavor. Dried apricots and figs, with a hint of lemon zest--all coated in maple syrup, vanilla, praline, and caramel. This wine was absolutely perfect when paired with an outdoor cigar after dinner.

July 8, 2016 - From 37,5cl, perfect cork. Initially this smells and feels like an outstanding, mature Sauternes (Suduiraut?) from a ripe vintage; only with time in the glass is it evident that the grapes are neither SB nor Semillon (but I'd never have guessed Chardonnay!) So fabulously sweet that a second glass is an impossibility, but as others have noted the acid balance is there. After so-so bottles of #1 and #2 TBA from my great big wooden Kracher Collection 2000 box this beauty instantly restored my faith in the true religion of Kracher TBA, and makes me look forward to worshiping #4, #5, etc etc... Fully mature now, but no hurry. 92P(+)

November 16, 2014 - Apple pie, tropical fruits and vanilla. Good sweetness with the acidity to balance. What's not to like?

March 20, 2012 - Deep golden yellow color. Soaring nose of orange marmalade, honey, apricots, vanilla creme-brulee. Stupendously sweet, viscous palate with intense and perfectly ripe orchard citrus pit fruits and toasted nuts. The wine balances the very high residual sugar with perfectly integrated acidity. The finish goes on and on.
