2018 TBA No. 8 Welschriesling

Helles, zart unterockertes Kirschrot, Goldreflexe. Feine Nougatnote, ein Hauch von schwarzen Kirschen, Anklänge von Brombeerkonfit, dezente tabakige Würze. Mittlere Komplexität, rotbeerige Nuancen, gut integrierte Süße, angenehme mineralische Komponente im Abgang, bereits zugänglich. 93/100 Falstaff/Peter Moser

In der Nase deutliche Noten von Grapefruitschalen und Mandarinen, zart rauchig-mineralische Anklänge, am Gaumen seidig und süß, feine vegetale Würze, zitronige Struktur, unkomlizierter und zugänglicher Süßweintypus. #5 Scheurebe Trockenbeerenauslese Zwischen den Seen displays vividly Scheurebe-typical aromas of sage, peppermint, grapefruit and honey. Startlingly bright and juicy on entry, this builds strength and powers to intense, scintillating flavors of grapefruit, candied citrus rinds, honey and high-toned sweet herbal distillates joined less by the typical cassis than by a lovely note of Maine blueberries. The feel is creamy yet at the same time the wine remains invigoratingly sharp. The endlessly reverberating finish pulls out all the stops from a rich, nut oil-flavored, malty low register through the range of vivid citrus and blue fruit to high-toned distilled berry and herb notes. #5, Kracher explains, was racked early and then rushed, reductively, into bottle. You might say it’s Scheurebe with a look over his shoulder at (long-time Muller-Catoir winemaker) Hans-Gunter Schwarz. 97/100 The Wine Advocate / David Schildknecht
