Mittleres Gelbgold, in der Nase feine Anklänge von Rosen und Vanille, dennoch etwas verkapseltes Bukett, feuchte Wolle, der Traminercharakter ist im Duft nur angedeutet, am Gaumen sehr exotische Grapefruitzesten, herrlich eingewobene Restsüße, spielerisch wirkend, zeigt eine feine Säurestruktur, die dem Wein viel Lebendigkeit vermittelt. Sehr klares Finish, das das Holz gut zur Wirkung bringt, im Abgang wird auch das alkoholische Feuer spürbar. 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. 93/100 The Wine Advocate / Pierre Rovani Deep nose of black tea, quince paste and caramel. Firm and powerful with intense dried porcini mushrooms and molasses character. Dense, almost dry finish that’s totally fascinating. A library release at 25 years of age. Drink or hold. 96/100 Stuart Pigott - jamessuckling.com The amber-colored 1999 Trockenbeerenauslese No 2 Traminer Nouvelle Vague (Library Release 2024) opens with an intense bouquet of porcini, malt, orange, dark (cane) sugar, molasses and candied apricot as well as peanut, rose petal and orange aromas. The wine is savory and rich on the very intense and fresh, elegant and refined, stimulating and bitter palate that reveals a serious tannin structure and a rather dry, spicy taste. This is a gorgeous wine to have with a cigar or matured hard cheese but also with nougat and cinnamon dishes. Fabulous. 13.5% stated alcohol with 136 grams per liter of residual sugar. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2024. The Wine Advocate - Reviewed by: Stephan Reinhardt

Kräftiges Gelbgold, breiter Wasserrand, florale Nase, Orchideenduft, Gewürzholz, Zimt, Nelken, am Gaumen kraftvoll, fast atemberaubend, wirkt im Moment noch nicht hundertprozentig equilibriert, schmeckt ein wenig karamellmalzig im Abgang, mittlere Länge. The 1999 #3 Chardonnay / Welschriesling Nouvelle Vague Trockenbeerenauslese offers demure white peach aromas. On the palate, this zesty medium to full-bodied offering reveals candied tart apple flavors. It is tightly wound and acts like a wine that will be substantially better with cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2026. 90/100 The Wine Advocate / Pierre Rovani The medium to dark amber-colored 1999 Trockenbeerenauslese No 3 Chardonnay / Welschriesling Nouvelle Vague (Library Release 2024) opens with a clear and elegant bouquet of orange and oaky aromas intermingled with autumn leaf and mushroom but also rose petal and caramel. Vivacious and pure on the palate, this is a rich, elegant and finessed, fresh and vital TBA with a lighter and refreshing as well as savory finish. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. 98/100 The Wine Advocate / Stephan Reinhardt What an amazing nose of caramel and molasses this great Austrian TBA has. Terrific concentration of toasted nuts, caramel and black tea character, but also a wonderful vitality for 25 years of age. There’s also a note that reminds me of 200- and 300-year-old leather-bound books, which makes this even more fascinating. Fabulous balance at the extremely long, refined finish. Drink or hold.

Kräftiges Gelbgold, herrliche Traubenaromatik, man sieht die Früchte förmlich vom Stock ins Glas hängen, superbe Muskatnote, am Gaumen von großer Würzigkeit, die salzige "Bitterkeit" der vollreifen dickschaligenTrauben, tolle Sortenaromatik, gepaart mit einem opulenten Restzucker von enormer Festigkeit,eine Geschmacksymphonie beginnt, große Finesse im Abgang, ein Klassewein für Liebhaber von Bukettsorten. The raspberry, orange blossom, and cherry-scented 1999 #4 Muskat Ottonel Zwischen Den Seen Trockenbeerenauslese is a thick, unctuous tangerine-flavored fruit bomb. Its oily character slathers the palate with jellied kumquats, mandarins, and tangerines, all of whose flavors linger throughout its marvelously extensive finish. Projected maturity: Now-2025+. 95/100 The Wine Advocate / Pierre Rovani

Kräftiges Gelbgold, breiter Wasserrand, zunächst etwas flüchtige Säure,Holzaromen, Vanille, ein etwas flatterhaftes Bukett, wirkt auch am Gaumen etwas rustikal, einerseits eine dichte Süße, zeigt andererseits eine spitze zitronige Säure, gelbapfelige Aromen, sehr chardonnay-typisch, mittleres Finish.
