Medium brick. Raisin, prune, baking spices, loads of botrytis. Very high acid. In fact, ridiculous acid, to go with the ridiculous sugar and ridiculous concentration. Surprisingly, the body is much lighter than you would expect motor oil to be. For the style, a fun, energetic drink. Admittedly, a bit of this went into the Brussels sprouts in lieu of honey which could not be found. Sadly, they were forgotten in the oven so we cannot judge how Kracher sprouts are.

Shabbat (Coventry, CT): After the 99 Darting eiswein, this was quite a contrast. Crazy, untamed, like Muppet Animal with a new set of drums. Liquid honey, mulling spices, mead, orange, ... Fun. 93+?

A thick, complex, crazy, high-acid, ridiculous sugar concoction that (unlike the 1996 No. 2 TBA) just works. Amazingly well.

A tasting of Rieslings, Sauvignon Blancs, and other random whites. (Northport): Molasses, mead, and loads of spice. Very rich, but with a lot of acid. Yum.
