2022 TBA No. 5 Rosenmuskateller

The fire-red brick-colored 2022 Trockenbeerenauslese No 5 Rosenmuskateller Nouvelle Vague is a beautiful rarity that intermingles very fine oak, toast and nougat aromas with notes of candied cherries, red berries, flowers, nutmeg and pencil shavings. On the palate, this is a generously sweet but refined and elegant, almost weightless TBA whose richness is enormous but uplifted by salinity, delicate acidity and filigreed tannins. The finish is very long and savory and promises great aging capacity. This is the sweetest TBA of the vintage, but it's never clumsy or saturating. We just need to give it time. By Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate

A wonderful dark red colour in the glass. Wow incredible nose, blood orange rind and gorgeously perfumed pot pour - incredibly floral. Filling but so smooth and effortless, silky, this is dangerously drinkable with a lovely slightly orange juice element alongside a nougat, nutty sugary peach and pear succulence. Rich, sweet, thick, weighty but refined too and lifted by threads of delicious salty acidity. The highest level of residual sugar in the five-wine line up, from the outstanding 2022 vintage, entering the Place de Bordeaux this September. Incredible. Director and winemaker Gerhard Kracher.

Not unlike no. 1 but with almost twice as much residual sugar. Raspberry puree. Almost too much. There is a load of acidity here – glory be – but it’s still almost at the limit. Rhubarb crumble. The Drinks Business, Colin Hay
